Maximum cozy: The Best Mittens Ever

October 30th, 2014 by Kendra | Posted in General News, Knitting, SM_TPE, SM_TPEF |

With cold winter weather just ahead, now is the time to start knitting a pair of toasty warm Stuffed Mittens. Your hands will thank you. Imagine your hands being surrounded by billowy poufs of fiber (ahh, just heavenly). Small pieces of roving, unspun sheep’s wool, are knit into the mitten fabric along with the working yarn to create a fleecy lining. Over time the fleece felts into a super insulating layer. Traditional fleece stuffed mittens of Newfoundland and Labrador were knit with natural colors, but with today’s multitude of color choices in both yarn and fiber, the sky is the limited with regard to design.

So get ready to knit up a pair of the best mittens ever. You can customize your mitts by choosing your favorite bulky weight yarn (125 yds, 140 yds) like Lamb's Pride Bulky Yarn, [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , Malabrigo Mecha Yarn or [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] and pairing it with 2 oz of fiber like [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , Merino Top Wool Fiber, Fine White Merino Wool Top Fiber, Multi-Colored Merino Wool Top Fiber, Merino Silk Top Fiber. It’s all in the touch so we prefer using super soft fiber. Don’t forget to order the [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] . (FREE with yarn and fiber purchase)
