Vegan friendly - knitwear with no wool or silk
Yes - you can have warmth without wool, and luxury knitwear can still be cosy, cool and comfortable when it’s vegan friendly. And yes - it doesn’t need to be dull or boring just because it’s vegan.
My vegan friendly knitwear is infinitely wearable. These pieces don’t use wool or silk; plant fibres such as cotton, linen and viscose are the star of the show here.

More about my cotton mittens, wrist warmers or fingerless gloves…
These mittens or fingerless gloves come in a range of gorgeous colours. They are either 100% cotton or 65% cotton and 35% linen. I originally designed them for women but they do also fit men (sometimes a little more tightly).
By the way - my name for these is wrist warmers, but recently more people seem to use the terms ‘fingerless gloves’ ‘mittens’ and/or ‘hand warmers’. But I hope that we all know what we are talking about!
These mittens, wrist warmers, or fingerless gloves are either 100% cotton or a cotton linen mix - there’s no wool in them. This means they are good for people with wool allergies as they are not at all itchy.
They are fully washable and easy to look after. No need to dry clean.
