Thrumming is a technique developed in Newfoundland that incorporates a bit of unspun wool into your stitches! The result is a super-squishy, super warm mitten. These adorable mittens were designed by Helene Driesen of Kieran Knits. Helene is a Shetland Wool Week Teacher and Designer. New to thrumming? We’ve got a class in the Morehouse Merino Flock Online Learning Community! Click here to learn more. Sizes: Adult small and medium (other sizes may be achieved by adding/subtracting 4 stitches, this will effect the amount of yarn/roving needed). Using one of the two pattern gauges, you’ll be able to make these sizes fit a 7″, 8′ or 9″ hand circumference. Yarn: 1 skein of Morehouse Merino 3-strand worsted Needles: #8 or 9 double pointed needles; you may prefer a long circular for the Magic Loop technique or two shorter circulars to knit in the round Other materials needed: Roving or fleece, approx. 2 oz.
