Thrummed Friesland Mittens

From the designer,  “Thrumming is a technique from Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, a place known for rough terrain and bitterly cold sea air. It incorporates wisps of fiber roving into your knitting to create a thick, insulating layer between your hands and winter’s chill.

Friesland mittens are a quick and easy way to learn this fun technique and get a pair of mega-warm and squishy mittens in the end.”
