Rivertown Cargo creates repurposed wool products such as felted wool mittens that are unique and exclusive, wool hand warmers in the shape of Michigan, and wool kitchen hot pads. Wool sweaters are recycled into new and useful products! Wool mittens made from repurposed wool sweaters are unique as there are three wools used that coordinate with each other. Embellished with a button on each cuff, these zany and fun repurposed wool mittens will keep your hands warm on the coldest of days. These recycled wool mittens are created using wool from three sweaters that are felted by washing them in hot water and drying in the dryer on the highest setting. This process causes the wool to shrink into a tighter knit that provides a great barrier to the cold, long winters we have in Michigan. These wool mittens coordinate with each other but the outer hands do not “match”. This makes each pair unique as there are no two pairs that are ever alike.
