I found a tutorial that will give you a better (read: neater) view of thrumming mittens. I did not use roving, as I had all those nice, lanolin-y bits from Flora to use. With lots of fiber (vegetable matter) thrown in for free! I tend to perversely NOT like symmetry. I think this is a hold-out from the very contrary kid that I have always been. In any event, this mitten will not only be w.a.r.m, but it will add lanolin to my dry skin. Who could ask for more?

I haven't tried thrumming yet but my dad gave me a 'kit' for Christmas with some lovely wool and pretty roving (though those Flora bit sound so very nice!) Now that I've knitted a simple mitt, I feel ready to take on the thrum. Yours are lovely and look oh-so-warm! Thanks for the post.
Come to Mama! I need me some of those. Well maybe not now, but for next winter! Those look so absolutely warm. How have I not heard of this? Yours look wonderful.
Fiona - I think that they may be the answer to my chronically cold hands! The fleece felts into a nice matted lining after you where them for a while. I will just have to be sure not to have the fleece felt into a solid mass INSIDE the mitten.
Jane - If you are very, very good this year, who knows what Santa will bring???
looks warm!
I've never even heard of this until your recent post, let alone seen it. I can almost FEEEEEL how wonderful it would be to slide a hand into all that lovely, warmth!
Fiona, I'd love for you, too, to post about this method when you get time to use the kit you have. Intriguing.
