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.
