About this product
One pair, 22 momme mulberry silk, nothing else in them.
Anti-scratch newborn mittens in 100 per cent mulberry silk. One pair, two mittens, in pink or blue. Recommended for babies from 0 to 3 months.
One pair of anti-scratch mittens in 100 per cent mulberry silk, for newborns from 0 to 3 months.
The point of them is that a newborn has very little control over their hands and can scratch their own face while sleeping. A mitten stops that.
There is nothing hard or toxic in them: no plastic fastening, no rigid trim, nothing to come loose.
One pair means two mittens. Pink or blue, both the same silk at 22 momme.
Hand wash in cool water with a baby-safe detergent, no softener, no dryer.
Newborn skin is thinner than adult skin and a newborn has almost no control over their hands for the first weeks, which is the whole reason scratch mittens exist.
Silk is the choice here for the same reason it is the choice on a pillowcase: it is smooth, and there is nothing in it. These are 22 momme mulberry, the same silk as the pillowcases rather than a lighter offcut.
Construction matters more on a baby product than anywhere else in this range. There is no plastic fastening, no rigid trim and nothing that can work loose.
Fit is by age rather than by size, and 0 to 3 months is the honest range. After that most babies have enough hand control that mittens come off as fast as they go on.
Wash them by hand in cool water with a detergent made for baby clothes. No fabric softener, which leaves a residue, and no dryer.

The complete guide
Scratch mittens, and the short window they are useful in
3 min readFlair Silk Company
Why newborns need them and three month olds do not
For the first weeks a baby has very little control over their hands, and they will scratch their own face without meaning to. By around three months that has changed, and mittens come off faster than you can put them on. It is a short window, which is worth knowing before you buy four pairs.
Why silk rather than cotton
Newborn skin is much thinner than adult skin. Silk is smoother than cotton. These are 22 momme mulberry, the same silk as our pillowcases rather than a lighter offcut.
Check the construction, not the picture
On anything a baby wears, look for what can come loose. There is no plastic fastening on these, no rigid trim and nothing to detach.
Washing them
Hand wash in cool water with a detergent made for baby clothes. No fabric softener, which leaves a residue on the fibre. No dryer.
What they are not
They are mittens. They stop scratching. They are not a treatment for any skin condition, and if your baby's skin is a concern the person to ask is your maternal health nurse or your GP.
Tell us what you want it to do and how you do laundry, and we will tell you whether the silk or the satin is the better spend. Free standard delivery across Ireland on orders of €60 or more.
