About Hedgelaying

Hedgerows help to define the uniqueness of the British countryside and are an important wildlife habitat.
They require sympathetic management if we are to preserve them for future generations

Hedging Mitts
I make hedging mitts as a sideline, having retired from full-time work. The mitts are cut and laced by hand so I cannot produce them in large quantities- 10 pairs would keep me busy for a couple of weeks. I can also do half pairs L or R. They are made from 3 - 4 mm chrome leather butts and sell for £40.00 per pair plus postage. They only come in one size, which is fairly large.
