Our Approach to Wool & Animal Welfare
At Free the Ocean, animal welfare is paramount. Some of our items, such as wool blankets or alpaca mittens, are made from natural fibers that come from domesticated animals like sheep and alpacas.
Animals like these have been bred for centuries to grow thick, abundant fleece. Because of this, they must be shorn regularly, particularly before warmer months. Shearing helps prevent heat stress and supports the animal’s overall health and comfort. If fleece is not removed, it can become heavy and matted, trapping dirt and moisture and potentially leading to skin infections, parasite infestations, reduced mobility, and even starvation.
To ensure responsible sourcing, we require that the artisans and producers we work with follow humane animal care practices. Our standards include:
• Animal care must strictly follow humane treatment, responsible ownership, and mulesing-free practices.
• Wool and other fibers must come from domesticated animals that benefit from regular shearing as part of their normal care.
• We do not sell products made from wild animals.
• We do not sell cosmetic or other products that have been tested on animals.
By working with partners who prioritize ethical treatment and responsible practices, we aim to offer products that align with our values while supporting artisans and natural materials.
Very soft, the knit is high quality. The ombre' is beautiful & a very versatile option. Not too bulky & fit nicely with coats, sweaters, long sleeve shirts. Appreciate the mittens were attached to one another with a strand of yarn & not the annoying, ubiquitous plastic bit so difficult to remove. Glad they arrived so I could actually use them. Not the fault of FTO but the postal orifice.
Beautiful and has quality construction. Soft and warm.
Ok. Haven’t used them yet.
Alpaca Fingerless Mittens | Handmade, Fair Trade, 100% Alpaca Fiber
These Alpaca fingerless mittens are perfect when the weather is chilly, but you need to keep your fingers free. They help stop the draft that always seems to go up my sleeves. I love them!
The gloves are comfortable, soft and warm. The ordering was easy, delivery was quick, and the gloves arrived in perfect condition.
I was disappointed. The gloves are very thin, much thinner than I anticipated. The stitching is not super tight, and around the thumbs and down the side seam especially it looks like threads could pull out pretty easily with any kind of wear. I wouldn't order again.
I love the the glove and the color--I bought two pairs--but the yarn has pulled apart on one end of one of the gloves so not sure how much longer the one glove will last. So, while I love them, I don't know that I would buy another pair.
They are great- so great my husband has them also.

I lost one of the first pair I bought, so I bought a second pair. Now I have a third in case I lose one again. ;) But more importantly, these are just lovely. I got the multiple gray-toned ones. They are made of just the right yarn so that they are thin and light enough to be unintrusive, yet they are warm enough for year round use. The yarn is tight enough that they're not annoyingly furry either, they have a nice clean feeling to them. I have relatively poor circulation and these really help keep my wrists warm when working at computers in air conditioned environments.
Very soft and pretty! I'll definitely buy more for gifts.
Very good quality fingerless mittens. Very soft and just right to be able to walk the dogs and still be able to pick up the poop while hands stay warm. I love to drive on them when the steering wheel is cold they really make a difference. Being able to use the cell phone to scroll and type is a plus too! I actually have worn them while typing at work when our office got cold lol! It is a feel good buy to help save our most precious animals in our oceans and beyond!!!
Haven't used them yet but I've tried them on and they are soft/warm. Glad I purchased them as my office keeps the thermostat too low! lol
These gloves are helpful in keeping my hands warm without interfering with most of the things I need to do indoors. The wool is thinner than expected, but is in fact a good thickness for this job. Thicker would limit using my hands too much. However, I would appreciate having the part of the glove that extends over the fingers and thumb be somewhat longer for better coverage while still not interfering with using my hands.
Perfect Christmas gift for my daughter. 😍🌲🇺🇸
The fingerless mittens are pretty and warm. I'm delighted with the colours and that the mittens are from Alpaca wool. Pleased if this helps even the tiniest bit with plastic pollution.
Very soft. Very well made. Good quality. Two thumbs up!
I got these gloves in sea otter colors (so cute). They’re a tad itchy, but I love being able to do my homework, type, hold coffee, etc. without my hands and fingers getting cold! The gloves are definitely warm enough and look great with lots of outfits, and I would totally recommend.
I am so happy with these! I can walk my dog in very cold weather and still give him treats, etc. without having to take off my gloves. These are wonderful!
These alpaca fingerless mittens are soft and more convenient than closed mittens for keeping my hands warm inside.
At 82, I experience stiffness in cold weather when I write or even hold a book. These fingerless mittens are soft and pretty and make me feel more comfortable.
Cute! Soft!
Love the rainbow colors, and it’s a gift so I know she’ll love that they’re made with Alpaca, because she’s a knitter and works with quality yarns… even raised angora rabbits and harvested/spun her own wool!
So soft and comfortable
