Description

Cold wrists and forearms but warm fingers? It's a niche knit, but needs must for knit needs.

Made using 100% sheep’s wool in a patterned knit, the Burwick wrist warmers are lined with microfleece for a soft feel against your skin. A thumb hole means they cover most of your hands but leave your fingers free.

Nature’s great insulator, wool makes a great material for keeping your extremities warm. Plus, it’s highly breathable and odour resistant, so you can wear it more and wash it less.

Each woolly wrist warmer from Black Yak is hand-knitted in Nepal. As well as being certified fair trade, a proportion of Black Yak’s sales go back into the communities that make them.

Care & Environmental Advice
