woolen mittens

Yarn-based hand covers

Woolen mittens are hand coverings made from wool, with a single compartment for the fingers and a separate one for the thumb.

The wool provides warmth even when wet, making them practical for cold weather: She pulled on her woolen mittens before heading out into the snow.

Unlike gloves, mittens keep fingers together for better heat retention.
