Description
Bobbles and branches decorate these bright mittens with motifs resembling bilberry bushes. Bilberries, known as jagody in Poland, fraughan in Ireland, and whortleberries or blueberries in the United Kingdom, grow wild across northern Europe, where they’re used in summer desserts, folk remedies, and natural dyeing.
