The Coziest Alpaca Mittens

Stuff We Love
Jan. 27, 2024

We’re not even halfway through winter, so if you have been holding out on new gear, now’s the time to level up your winter warmth game. This season, we’ve fallen for a pair of knitted alpaca mittens from Northern Blessings Alpacas, a farm in Benzonia. These bad boys are just the right weight to wear when running errands, taking a wintery stroll, or just clutching your cup of coffee closer. (We wouldn’t recommend wearing them for heavy-duty winter activities or shoveling, as the weave is a bit open and delicate.) The mittens are also impossibly soft, so maybe next year we’ll see about getting a full wardrobe of alpaca winter wear. Northern Blessings’ collection is ever changing, but you’re sure to find something cozy in their Etsy shop. Learn more at northernblessingsalpacas.com.
