Nevada Wool Mittens – fluffy warmth every day
Colour: grey
Size: L/XL
Wool type: teddy fleece wool
Soft, fluffy and naturally warm – Nevada mittens are crafted from soft, fluffy sheep's wool fleece whose lofted, teddy-like structure retains heat exceptionally well, while still breathing and wicking moisture away. Hands stay dry and warm from the morning commute to the evening walk home.
The elastic knit adapts gently to the shape of the hand without restricting movement, while the soft cuff holds the mitten securely at the wrist. The understated colours and classic cut make these mittens as at home with a casual jacket as with a smart coat – a natural alternative to synthetic gloves for those who prefer natural materials.
Every pair is hand-sewn in Poland, with the same care that goes into every Zaffiro product.
Why you'll love Nevada mittens:
Teddy fleece wool
Natural sheep's wool with a naturally crimped fibre structure that gives the knit a soft, fluffy, teddy-like texture. It retains heat exceptionally well and allows the skin to breathe, providing comfort during autumn and winter outings. Like all wool, it has natural hypoallergenic properties and neutralises odours.
Frequently asked questions
Will the wool feel itchy against the skin?
This wool fleece has a soft, lofted structure that is exceptionally gentle to the touch and kind even to sensitive skin. It is also hypoallergenic.
How do I choose the right size?
Size L/XL fits most men's and larger women's hands. Size S/M is also available for a slimmer fit.
What is the difference between Nevada and Sierra?
Nevada features a soft, fluffy wool fleece with a naturally crimped fibre structure reminiscent of lambskin. Sierra is premium wool with a smooth, dense fleece on both sides of the knit. Both keep you equally warm; they differ in texture and feel.
Are the mittens suitable for heavy frost?
Yes – the lofted, fluffy wool fleece structure retains heat exceptionally well while simultaneously wicking moisture, keeping hands dry and warm.
How do I care for the mittens?
Wool is self-cleaning, so airing is usually all that is needed. If necessary, we recommend careful hand washing at max. 30°C using a wool detergent. Do not machine wash, do not spin, do not tumble dry – dry flat.
Composition
Fleece (in contact with skin): 100% wool
Total product composition: 83% wool, 17% polyester
Polyester serves solely as the structural base (load-bearing mesh) on which the natural fleece is anchored.
Extras (cuff): 96% cotton, 4% elastane
Care
Hand wash at max. 30°C with a wool detergent, using the same temperature for washing and rinsing. Do not machine wash, do not bleach, do not iron, do not spin, do not tumble dry or place on a radiator. Dry flat. Gentle dry cleaning is permitted. Loose fibres on the surface are a natural characteristic of fleece products – before first use, air and shake the item; during use, brush gently with a soft-bristle brush. The natural smell of wool fades after airing.
