I thought these would be perfect for when I bike to work during the cold months.
The pattern and yarn is from a local needlework and wool shop, Fingerfärda The yarn is by Ullcentrum, a company that sells local sheep wool that would otherwise have gone to waste.
Since the mittens are knitted with large needles they are very quick to knit.
Before they are felted they are huge. I put plastic bags inside the mittens and thumbs to keep them from felting together.
I used flaxseed oil soap to prepare the mittens then put them in the washing machine together with some red bath towels, and washed them in 40 degrees Celsius.
When the mittens had dried I used some wool embroidery thread and stitched some stars.
There is only one problem…
Lovely, warm, mittens for the kids!
