Thrummed Mittens

Learn how to make these wonderfully warm and fun mittens that have tufts (thrums) of wool knitted into the fabric and which originated in Newfoundland. Using a heavy worsted/aran weight yarn, these mittens knit up quickly and make great gifts for others or yourself.  

Hélène Driesen will guide you all the way and provide you with a pattern to take home.
