YZF Thrummed Mitts

Long winters demand cozy mittens! Thrummed mittens combine the warmth of traditional wool mittens with the extra insulation of wool fleece. These mitts are stuffed with a generous amount of fleece and use a clever insertion technique to lock the thrums securely inside the mitts. The left and right mittens are identical.

Thrums are inserted in a staggered pattern, which looks pretty on the outside, but also ensures that they are evenly distributed to create a fleecy lining inside the mitts. The thrums will eventually matt together to create a dense fabric which is warm, snug and comfortable.

The pattern provides for 3 sizes. The mittens are deliberately oversized to accommodate the space occupied by the fleece thrums. Circumference is measured around the finished mitten at a point below the knuckles and just above the base of the thumb.
