kumihansikkaiden
Kumihansikkaiden is a Finnish term that translates to "braided mittens" or "kumihimo mittens." Kumihimo is a traditional Japanese braiding technique that uses a marudai (a wooden stand) or takadai (a different type of stand) to create intricate cords and braids. While the origins of kumihimo are in Japan, the concept of applying this technique to create mittens, or at least the idea of decorative braided elements incorporated into mittens, has found a unique expression.
The term kumihansikkaiden likely refers to mittens that feature decorative braided patterns, possibly inspired by kumihimo
Historically, mittens served a practical purpose, providing warmth and protection for the hands in cold climates.
