Product Details
These Mitts are based on an ancient scrap of nalbilding that was found in the area that is now Syria. I named them Sulka, the Finnish word for feather in honor of my Finnish grandma, Julia. I usually try to keep politics off of my page, but my art and my existence as a person are intertwined with immigration and global cooperation.
These rustic, homespun mitts are perfect accessory for chilly mornings at the campfire. The feather design is based on a stitch pattern found on one of the oldest pieces of nalbinding (an early predecessor of knitting) ever found. Imagine women of an ancient era creating the same stitch as you knit these gloves, and feel the thread of history binding us together.
Shown in FernFiber Aran/Heavy Worsted (MC) & Cascade 220 Superwash Aran (CC). Only 20 yds of the contrast colour is needed.
