Skafto Sot Wristwarmer

The Skaftö Sot Wristwarmer is a Swedish-knit design in a traditional Nordic pattern, made from 100% organic Merino wool. The fingerless design with an open thumb offers breathable warmth and everyday utility, crafted in small batches with folk-inspired detail. Skafto is short for Skaftolandt, an island in Sweden that has two fishing and shipping villages that were important during the Herring period of the 18th century.  The design is a typical fisherman pattern inspired by the picturesque boathouses and bridges of the island. Note: The Skaftö Sot Wristwarmer is a medium fit in hand circumference but runs 1.5" longer than the Lycksele, Fastfolk, and Koren wristwarmers. If you have longer fingers, this version may be the better choice.  Materials:  100% Merino wool  Made by:  Öjbro Vantfabrik Made in:   Sweden Specifications:  size medium*  length of wrist warmer from cuff to top: 5.5" (+/- 0.25") width of wrist warmer, measured flat: 3.25" (+/- 0.25") * These gloves are labelled size medium and the tags indicate that they should fit glove sizes 7-9 (hand circumferences from 7" to 9"), however, the cuff is a bit snug, so we recommend them for glove sizes between 6 and 8 (hand circumferences from 6" to 8"). To Measure Your Hand Circumference: Wrap a tape measure around your hand at the base of the fingers, just above the thumb. Make sure the tape measure is close to your hand—not too tight but not too loose.  Please note that there are not separate finger holes on this wrist warmer. It is knit as an open tube with a separate thumb.  Care:  For detailed care instructions, we invite you to read our Öjbro Vantfabrik Care Guide.
