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 or Malabrigo Mecha Yarn, and pairing it with 2 oz of fiber like Merino Top Wool Fiber, Fine White Merino Wool Top Fiber, Multi-Colored Merino Wool Top Fiber, or Merino Silk Top Fiber. It’s all in the touch so we prefer using super soft fiber. Don’t forget to order the pattern! (FREE with yarn and fiber purchase). Or make it easy by choosing one of our popular *Stuffed Mittens Kits.
