Specialties
HandCandy Mittens is more than just mittens. We started with the warmest mittens you’ll ever love, made from upcycled sweaters and lined with new polar fleece. Now we’ve expanded to a line of clothing and accessories, all made with love, all from stuff that other folks throw away.
History
Established in 2006.
We began making mittens in 2006, and soon expanded to make scarves, hats in many styles, dresses, skirts and now, children’s clothing.
Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner
I started making mittens after attending a hockey game. My husband and stepson both played and I was dreading a long season of moral support in a cold, cold hockey rink. My mother-in-law had a cool pair of handmade mittens, I tweaked the pattern a bit, wore them to the next game, and was bombarded with questions and compliments. I sold some at a local hockey tournament, and there my business started. Since then, over 20,000 pairs of mittens have been sold.
