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.

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.

Welcome back to mitten season! Through the year, I typically sew everyday to get ready for the fall craft season and the mitten website. This year, I ran into a serious health issue and have taken some time off. With the gift of God, I am back to full strength. I needed to cancel 3 craft shows this fall but I hope to keep these 2 shows yet before Christmas...

Many of us live in colder parts of the country and always wonder how to stay warm while maintaining the cuteness factor. Wardrobe Oxygen blog helped us pick out some cute winter outfits that you might enjoy :)
