During this class we will learn how to make thrummed mittens. This unique design originated in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, designed for fishermen who needed to keep their wet hands warm. It involves incorporating stubs of roving wool in the mitts to add an extra layer of warmth.

The workshop will run for three two hour sessions for a total of 6 hours. Price includes instruction, pattern and wool (alpaca) needed to complete one pair of mittens. Some knitting will be required at home to complete the project. There will be different colour options for the yarn.

Requirements

Must be comfortable with casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing and knitting in the round on four needles.

Participants will receive a 10% discount on all regular priced crafting supplies the day of the the workshop.
