Merino wrist warmers by Knit Shepherd made in Auckland, Aotearoa

Merino wrist warmers that work as a sleeve extension – or pop your thumb through the opening for warm hands with fingers free to explore, swipe or play. The rib stitch is designed to recall water cascading over rocks on its way down a river.

Colours: Rātā (autumn red), Tōtara (deep green), Ponga (soft black), Tūrutu (soft navy)
Size: 18cm long x 8.5cm wide

Made seamlessly, with minimal waste, by Knit Shepherd in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

Care: Merino naturally resists stains and odours, so it rarely needs washing – airing it out is usually enough. If it does get marked, hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle in a mesh bag. Squeeze out gently, reshape and dry flat away from heat. Never tumble dry. Store folded with a cedar block to keep moths away.
