On Tristan da Cunha, wool from the island’s sheep is turned into warm, practical clothing by the hands of the island community.
These gloves are made from natural island wool that is hand-spun and hand-knitted by island women and community members. Made on one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands, each pair reflects a long-standing tradition of making useful, lasting things from what is available close to home.
Knitted in natural hand-spun wool, they are available in White, Salt and Pepper, Black and Grey. As the wool is natural and the gloves are handmade, each pair may have small variations in colour, texture and finish.
These gloves travel from Tristan da Cunha across the South Atlantic before reaching you — part of the story of owning something made on our remote island.
Bring home a little warmth from Tristan with a pair of hand-knitted Island Wool gloves.
