Hand knit from 100% pure undyed virgin wool. These cuffs are a perfect addition to your early to mid 19th century impression. Worn by trappers, ladies, soldiers, raggamuffins, and all likes of life between. Keep warm without sacrificing finger mobility. Optionally pair with cloth gloves for full coverage. Our pattern is documented and well researched.
