*New! Snuggly Merino wool mittens for winter, knitted in patterns inspired by traditional Swedish motifs.

Two layer 100% Merino mittens made in Sweden by Öjbro Vantfabrik. Mittens are warmer than gloves! These gloves are knit in a double layer of 100% merino wool, giving extra warmth while retaining flexibility. Dyed in subtle natural colours and  wonderfully cosy for those chilly winter walks.

Öjbro Vantfabrik is dedicated to preserving and sharing Swedish knitting heritage. Exactly how long mittens have been knitted in Scandinavia is unclear, but there are preserved mitten fragments dating back to as early as the 13th century. Each pair of beautiful jacquard knit Öjbro mittens features a design drawn from traditional patterns and personal stories.


The Lycksele pattern is inspired by the traditional weaving technique 'Västerbotten-drällen', the striped patterns used by the Sami people, and the Öjbro family's history in the town of Lycksele. This design is also available in handwarmers, Merino sockskneehigh socksbeanie, small blanket 90x130cm, and a throw blanket 130x200cm. See below to read the Lycksele story.

Colour: Lycksele

One size: 7-9. 26cm length x 10.5cm width.

Brand: Öjbro Vantfabrik
Designed in: Sweden
Origin of Fibre: Italy
Country of manufacture: Sweden
Fabric structure: 100% Merino wool - mulesing free
100% biodegradable: Yes
Machine Washable: Yes (see our guide to washing wool)

Care: Handwash using a gentle wool shampoo recommended for best results. To machine wash, choose a cold wool cycle, skipping the spin cycle. Dry flat on a towel, gently reshaping while wet. Do not tumble dry. Wool feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of moisture (up to 33% of its dry weight). Air between uses, wash only when required. 

The story of the Lycksele pattern: Designer Åse Öjbro, founder of Öjbro Vantfabrik, has created this pattern with inspiration from Sami culture and the city of Lycksele's history.

In the words of Åse Öjbro: "When creating the pattern Lycksele, I was inspired by the traditional weaving technique 'Västerbotten-drällen'. I wanted to include a Sami connection, which resulted in Sami-inspired stripes in the pattern. It's been a joy to create this pattern, especially in combination with Öjbro's family history."

Until the 1600s, there were no established townships in Southern Lapland. In 1607, King Charles IX designated the site of Öhn (present-day Gammplatsen) as a church and market place in Southern Lapland. Lycksele celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2007. Lycksele was granted town rights in 1946, becoming the first town in Lapland. The city is called "Lappstockholm" and markets itself as "the city of Lapland" to emphasize its historical role as Lapland's first city and an early, important meeting place.

The Sami are an ethnic minority originating from Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The Sami Parliament, a parliament in which Sami people have the right to vote, was recognized and established by the government in Norway in 1989, in Sweden in 1993, and in Finland in 1996.

The story of Sven Öjbro's house by Elisabet Lindgren, Lycksele:

"From "Joppe's," it wasn't a long walk to Sven Öjbro's timbered house. The house with rough logs originally came from the village of Ekorrsjö and was an inn/shooting lodge, built at the beginning of the 1900s. Here travelers, traders, fishermen, and hunters met on their journey upstream or downstream between Umeälven and Vindelälven to rest, eat, do business, or change horses.

When the obligatory markets in autumn and winter in Lycksele occurred, all the rooms of the inn were overcrowded. At the end of the 1800s, the house was timbered at this new location in Villarydsbacken and taken over by John Gustaf Johansson with his wife Berta Karolina. His wife, Berta Karolina, died in childbirth in 1901 when their only son, Sven, was born. He grew up and took the name Öjbro.

Many in Lycksele took new names at that time; locally, Öjbro means "crossing the bridge." Sven eventually inherited the house together with his wife Elma. He was a machinist at Hällforsen power station during the 1930s, and many remember his peculiar laugh — he kind of snorted gently through his nose when he laughed.

Elma, on the other hand, could be heard more widely. Not for nothing was she called "The horror of Villaryd" because of her very powerful voice, and she could be heard calling her kids far and wide, saying, "Come in and eat!"

There were often renters in the house over the years. The hospitality function of the house remained in people's memories until well into the 1950s, and many spent the night at Sven Öjbro's on market weekends. After Elma's death in 1960 and his own retirement, Sven devoted himself to self-sustainability.

For a while, he kept a pig in the stable part of the farmhouse and grew potatoes on the slope down towards the road. Sven kept a close eye on when it was time to plant potatoes in early summer. I remember how he daily took the temperature of the Earth in the potato patch. He also did woodworking in the courtyard.

Early on Saturday mornings, the people of Villaryd could wake up to the sound of the woodcutter and Sven starting up: wiiiiiii, wiiiiiiii. It was a proper wake-up call, especially if you had been out the night before!"

Sven Öjbro died in 1981, and today the house stands along Affärsgatan at Gammplatsen, now converted into a general goods store.

It's 2 panels holding 1 big privacy screen. Can't use as 2 separate 4' panels, but works great.
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This 2 panel privacy screen works well. Assembly was very straight forward, with easily labeled tubes. My son and I had it together in about 10 minutes, which was probably 3 minutes of me telling him to quit playing around and hand me the parts. It feels very sturdy, not likely to fall over or anything. The material fits well, with the Velcro being very strong. Measurements are all very accurate, with all pieces attaching properly. We have a similar privacy screen at work that we have to try and stretch out because the top and bottom Velcro doesn't fit quite right... this model does not have any issues though. The material is thin and light weight, but solid black so that you can't see anything through or behind it. I definitely think it's a great deal for the money. What I think would have given it 5 stars though, is if you had 2 totally separate 4' panels instead of 2 panels with one big screen. It really wouldn't cost any extra to make it so that the screen was in 2 pieces and you could use it as 2 separate panels instead of having to use it as one big panel. It says 2 panel folding privacy screens, but it's really one big one that folds in the middle.

Nice quality, looks brand new even with daily use! Worth it!
Size: 6 Panel, Color: White
I got the Rose Home 6 panel room divider folding privacy screen and I LOVE it. I use it every day - extending it out to both block the sun, provide a backdrop for my plant wall, use as a backdrop for zoom calls, create privacy at night in front of the big windows and clear doors, and make impromptu study privacy walls in the office. This 6-panel has been the GOAT! Even though the screen is made of a woven paper material, it is still going strong despite daily use and has NOT broken anywhere. The frame is taller than other folding screens I've purchased and this one is also heavier and sturdy. Additionally the hinges fold open in BOTH directions (some screens only fold open in 1 direction like a Z). I use the folding screens indoors, but they have no issue with the AC or fans for wind resistance indoors. Sometimes I use them to hide storage or junk in the corner and make the room look neater. I also have a different brand that is the same material but has 8 panels and I love them both. I got 2 others that were made from synthetic canvas webbing belt/leash fabric and those break so fast - I just had to throw 1 away. This one is worth the money, even after daily use, it looks brand new!

Already assembled!
Size: 8 Panel, Color: Natural
Came way sooner than the estimated delivery date and it looks awesome! Biggest plus is it came ALREADY ASSEMBLED! I was expecting self assembly but maybe that's on me for not reading the specifics. Hoping it's the right size for my new studio apartment. So far the look and functionality is 10/10
