Shown above paired with Rainbow Fish Infinity Scarf, originally published in the Fall ’19 issue of Spin Off magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep winter winds at bay with these cleverly constructed, handspun alpaca mittens. The interlocking nature of the gimp yarn’s bumps made for a sturdy, less drafty fabric. The farrow-rib stitch pattern adds some elasticity to the project. This easy textured stitch provided some cushiness and a bit of spring to this otherwise inelastic fiber (100% alpaca). The pattern would also work well with commercial alpaca and\/or wool yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiber 6 oz medium rose gray (brown) alpaca.
