Christmas tree mitten with balls and a tree topper!

I’ve always loved the Moomin Christmas Tree story. As we all know, the Moomins hibernate during winter, oblivious to the cold and snow outside. They have no idea of all the stress and rush other creatures have about the celebration of light in the darkest winter.
In The Fir Tree, one of the short stories in Tales from Moominvalley, Jansson describes the Moomin family’s unexpected encounter with Christmas. They are mystified by the fuss and curious goings-on, with the Hemulens stressing about food and presents, the woodies beside themselves with excitement, and Gaffsie running around with parcels and paper bags under her arms. Amid the pandemonium, the Moomins wonder aloud who this much-touted “Christmas” is supposed to be.
The Christmassy tale celebrates Tove Jansson’s relaxed, laid-back attitude to life and that’s what I intended this design to represent.

The bulky weight gives you warmth while the holes let your hand breathe. Plus they look super cool!
