It’s now the end of the first week in January, 2020 and we’ve found time to breathe after one of our busiest falls and early winters in Mitten Company history. Orders were flying out the door, and our local postmaster...

Hello Mitten Company family! We hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy. Many of you know about the supply shortages happening globally. Numerous companies are experiencing extremely low inventory and their products are stuck on cargo ships off the coast of...

You'll notice a new updated brand look with our company this year! It's more crafty, organic, upcycled, and hand-made. Inspired by classic Americana typography and vintage denim patches from Goodwill (one of our favorite stores to source sweaters). You can...

We have been going for 2 weeks now, and have had great responses from our customers, both old and new alike. Sales have been brisk, and we are putting new styles on our site weekly. In fact, it’s been difficult...

The hectic holiday season is over, and we’ve finally caught our breath, so we’ve found some time to write our December blog in January. We’re sure you understand. Our wonderful customers have made this the best season ever for The...

It’s been a crazy few weeks weather-wise. The last of the 7 inches of snow we got two weeks ago has finally melted away, and the high temperature in our corner of Minnesota will be close to 70 later in...

Why do leaves change color in the Fall? Most of the spectacular colors of Fall have actually been in the leaves all summer, however they were covered up by the dominant green of the chlorophyl. As weather cools, and shorter...

It's still 2020 and it's also the "official" opening of The Mitten Company's 20/21 season! We're very excited to get things rolling and can't wait for 2020 to be over (for all the obvious reasons), but first, we have a...

It’s January, and we here at The Mitten Company are still trying to catch our breath. This holiday season was one of our busiest ever, with trying to quickly fill the gift orders to make sure they all got there...

While some of this year's top costumes touch on 2019's biggest trends (Fortnite and unicorns, to name a few), other picks lean toward the classic side of things (witches and clowns). Based on the weather lately, we know it's going to...

Leaves turning colors, the sun setting earlier, footballs flying through the crisp air, almost anything you can imagine in “Pumpkin Spice” flavor... It’s officially Mitten Season! And to celebrate opening day, we’ve stocked the website with over 275 NEW pairs of mittens!...

As we near the end of our most successful mitten season ever, we'd like to thank all of our wonderful customers. While not everything went without a hitch (slow Canadian shipping due to customs, and slow American shipping due to our weekly snowstorms), we did our best to get to you the finest products, fastest shipping, and best customer service we were capable of providing.

Pick from rings, ties, lockets, and more in the holiday’s pinks, reds, purples, and even some whites By Lianna Matt McLernon I love Valentine’s Day. I love having something on the calendar that reminds people, “Hey, go tell someone you love,...

We've had a great start thanks to our wonderful customers spreading the word about our relaunch this year. October kept us very busy sending out mitten orders, but we're really looking forward to holiday shopping season :) Be on the lookout for those nice Black Friday deals coming up and a BUNCH of new mittens added to the website soon!

Hello wooly mitten fans! It’s now the second week of September, and you know what time it is. School has started, pumpkin spice has taken over, and temperatures are starting to drop. That can only mean one thing: MITTEN SEASON! And boy oh boy do we have some fun things going on.

We first want to thank the hundreds of people who took the time to fill out our survey this Spring. After analyzing your responses, your voice is loud and clear. We will not be mass producing our mittens. We will continue producing the warmest high quality one-of-a-kind recycled sweater mittens you're already accustomed to, along with some other NEW products this fall :)

It's official! The Mitten Company has sold out of Deb's 2017/18 mittens in a little over 7 hours after opening up shop. What a fitting tribute to Deb. She lived life in the fast lane and wouldn't want it any other way. And what's even more exciting is that we are able to donate about $918 (total after all our expenses were paid or reimbursed) to the American Brain Tumor Association! Woo Hoo! We couldn't have done it without all of your help, support, and caring nature of our beloved customers.

There's no easy way to say this, so let's jump right in (just as Deb lived her life; quick and to the point). For those of you who don't know, Deb (our mitten lady, CEO, teacher, wife, mother, and grandmother) lost her battle with brain cancer in late August this year. She was pain-free, and while we weren't there at the time, we got to say goodbye the night before.

In January 2016, both the United States Postal Service and Canada Post have made changes to shipping rates and some service offerings.
