Warm adult mittens insulated with merino wool and milkweed

What if the warmest natural insulation in the world came from the marriage of two natural wonders?
This is the audacious challenge taken up by Lasclay and Timininous, two Quebec companies joining forces to create a unique product that is as high-performing as it is eco-responsible.
♻️ A unique insulation in the world: the union of milkweed and merino
Since the very beginning of Timininous, every merino wool offcut has been carefully kept. Throwing away such a noble fiber, which sheep naturally grow on their backs for a year, was simply unthinkable.
These offcuts were defibered by Lasclay and transformed into an insulating foam, which we then combined with milkweed, an extraordinary perennial plant that grows freely in our territory.
🌱 Why are milkweed and merino wool magical?
The hollow fibers of milkweed, similar to plant silk, trap air, repel water, and create a natural thermal barrier. It is one of the best organic insulators in the world, which we combine with our merino wool, also an extraordinary insulator!
Merino wool is thermo-regulating (it keeps you warm when it's cold, and cool when it's hot), ultra-soft (even for sensitive skin), anti-bacterial, naturally odor-resistant, and biodegradable.
And here, it has a unique history: this merino comes from our own productions at Timininous. Each fiber used in these mittens comes from our carefully preserved offcuts, which we defibered, then transformed into insulation.
A second life for an exceptional fiber in a high-performance product, designed to last. ♻️

Léger
Mid-weight (240 GSM)
Poids lourds
GSM (grams per square meter) measures fabric density. At 240 GSM, our merino wool offers high quality and durability while retaining the breathability and thermoregulating properties that merino is known for.
Neither too light nor too thick, it will accompany you just as well on an autumn hike, a day at the office, or a winter outing as a base layer for layering.
Light enough to be worn during active pursuits like hiking, running, or skiing, it is also dense enough to provide significant comfort on colder days.
A versatile weight, designed to keep up with you all year round.
Our fabric is knitted in interlock, a construction known for its softness, stability, and durability. Unlike classic jersey, interlock is denser, more opaque, and retains its shape better over time.
Advantages
- More durable
- More opaque
- Softer
- Does not stretch out of shape
- Good drape
Good news: thanks to the natural properties of merino wool, you generally don't need to wash your garment after every use.
Our merino wool fabric is machine washable, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Our fabric uses Superwash treated merino wool, which allows it to retain the natural properties of merino while significantly reducing the risk of shrinkage during washing.
To extend the life of your garment, we recommend:
- Machine wash in cold or lukewarm water;
- Delicate cycle;
- Mild wool detergent recommended;
- Lay flat to dry (wool dries quickly);
- Do not use fabric softener or bleach;
- Ideally wash alone or in a mesh bag for delicate laundry;
- Avoid contact with zippers, velcro, or other items that could damage the wool during washing.
Thanks to the natural properties of merino, it is often sufficient to air out the garment between uses. This helps reduce the frequency of washing, preserve the fibers, and extend the life of the garment.
Less washing, less maintenance, more time to live and explore. 😊
