Double men's knitted mittens Antracite

For knitting these double men's mittens 100% Berne dog (Sennenhund) underfur with addition of soft merino wool was used. The underfur is spinned with sewing reinforced thread and rubbered into 2 threads. The yarn of this underfur is soft, silky and with shine.

This accessory is knitted of black (pitch glance) underfur. For dog underfur pure black colour is much to seek that makes Berne dog underfur unique.

The items of the yarn have some advantages. Firstly, there are convenient and comfortable while wearing, soft and flossy. Secondly, pitch black colour with silky shine makes the mittens strict on the one hand, and stylish and attractive on the other hand. Furthermore, mittens of black colour fit perfectly to any colour-rage overclothes, especially for coat or jacket of thick woolen cloth that says about practicability and flexibility of the accessory. This work is may be said for those who appreciate not only aesthetic appearance, but also comfort, softness, naturality of a knitted work and its warmness.

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.
