Thrummed Mittens KnitKit

Thrumming is a technique developed in Newfoundland that incorporates a bit of unspun wool into your stitches!  The result is a super-squishy, super warm mitten.  These adorable mittens were designed by Helene Driesen of Kieran Knits.  Helene is a Shetland Wool Week Teacher and Designer.
