Double women's knitted mittens

Beige yarn - 100% Collie underfur with addition of merino wool. The underfur is spinned with sewing reinforced thread and rubbered into 2 threads.

For knitting these double women's mittens beige Collie underfur with addition of merino wool was used. This combination of natural materials gives soft, fluffy and elastic yarn that fits perfectly to such accessories as mittens where softness is important. At the same time beige colour makes it fresh-looking and extravagant.

The distinguishing characteristic of the 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. The undercloth is knitted of light merino wool mixture - important point for people with sensitive hands. At the same time dog wool keeps warmth well. The ribbing is also knitted double, i.e. undercloth starts with palm. How backing looks you can see on the presented photos. The length of ribbing is 7 cm, consequently, it can be easily tucked under sleeves of outdoor clothes, keep wrist in warmth and stimulate blood circulation 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.
