The Kelp Forest Mittens and Hat Set was inspired by the remarkable Kelp Forests of the North American Pacific coast. The remarkable Giant Kelp is an amazing part of the Ocean biome, providing oxygen and a home to a myriad of remarkable species. The light shining through the Kelp Forests into the sea is stunning.
