Description

Thrum mitts are perfect for those cold winter days. Learn how to knit these warm and fashionable mittens using the hundreds of years old thrumming technique. Thrumming originated out of thriftiness utilizing short lengths of waste yarn as insulation for mittens and hats. Today, crafters use roving as the "thrum" which is separated into wisps, which are then knit into the stitches along with the working yarn. This creates a fuzzy, warm layer on the inside and irresistible polka dots on the outside. Basically, you’re making a sheepskin for the inside of your hand knitted mittens. (Instructor: Sammi)
