WUMB Potholder
Limited Time Special
For a limited time, only available until October 15.
Choose to receive a WUMB Potholder.
This Blue Plaid Quilted Potholder has our WUMB logo imprinted on the pocket.
The pocket allows you to use it as an oven mitt, or put it on the table and use it as a trivet*. The convenient loop lets you hang it on a hook as kitchen decor.
It’s quilted so you can even comfortably rest your elbows on it. When idle, you can use the loop to spin it around your finger like a fidget toy.
*It is not advised to put hot items directly on the imprinted area. Just make sure the quilted side is touching the hot items instead.
