Sizing and materials
Handwarmers are 75% wool and 25% nylon, unless otherwise stated. Machine-washing at 40°C is fine, but do not tumble dry or iron.
One size fits every hand I have encountered. The photo on the right shows how stretchy they are.
Allergy information: Handwarmers contain wool. I have a cat. I do not smoke.
Environment
Where possible I do my best to think low-impact when making and posting handwarmers.
- I have a preference for second-hand and unwanted yarn when I buy - although, full disclosure, most yarn is bought new.
- I choose machine-washable yarn (which is usually 20-25% nylon) for durability.
- Handwarmers are posted in a reused envelope, or if none are available, a recycled envelope.
- Envelopes and parcels are sealed with gum if new or with paper packing tape if reused.

This table only includes countries I have already posted handwarmers to. If your country isn't listed you can contact me and ask how much postage would be. Or if you want to work it out yourself:
- Go to https://www.postoffice.co.uk/postage-finder/
- Start typing your country in English, then select it from the dropdown.
- Enter the parcel weight, 60g, and click "Next".
- Choose "Large Letter" and click "Next".
- Choose "International Standard Large Letters" and click "Next".
- Under "Estimated Price", you'll find the minimum postage price for your country.
Please note that there may be a slight variation to take into account PayPal fees, and this calculator does not provide prices for the slightly cheaper and slower option of "surface/economy mail" - so the final P&P fee that I charge may differ by £1 or so in either direction. If you're not sure and you want an accurate quote, please feel free to contact me.
