Two pairs of knitted wool striped mittens sewn together. One pair of mittens is striped with two shades of blue and the other is striped with two shades of brown.

Engraved on each metal clamp "TexPak". Each has a cardboard tag attached to the bottom with a plastic tie. The tag is a black and orange colour with black, orange and white text. It reads "Arkay, All Wool, Entierement en laine, CA 00183". The back of the tags are blank. The two pairs of mittens are stitched to each other with bright pink yarn at the top and bottom.
