Women's double knitted mittens

The yarn is spinned of white 100% Caucasian dog underfur with addition of sheep wool. The undercloth is knitted of merino wool mixture.

The distinguishing characteristic of these women's mittens consists of having backing (undercloth), that makes them double and twice as warm. Such mittens will keep your hands in warmth from severe frost and strong cold wind. This will be particularly important for those, who has to be outdoors in winter for a long time. Undercloth is knitted of light wool mixture - important point for people with sensitive hands to the slightest tingling. At the same time dog wool keeps warmth well. The ribbing is also knitted double, i.e. undercloth starts with palm. The length of ribbing is 8 cm, consequently, it can be easily tucked under sleeves of outdoor clothes and keep wrist in warmth that is also of no small importance.

These mittens are knitted with 'tail' pattern. It has some advantages. Firstly, it looks great. 'Tail' pattern will adorn every work if yarn is straight, not thick, and a work is knitted closely. But there is another advantage - 'tail' pattern implies combination of front and back side mashes which creates ribbing effect. It's one of the best choices for mittens, fingerless gloves, gaiters, knee socks and other tight-fitting works. A hand can be narrow and wide of the same size. This means mittens knitted with 'tail' pattern will fit for both variants. This point is of no small importance for any knitted work.

The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
