Colorwork Mittens Using Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift
The Design
“Cozy colorwork for snowy days.”
They say that if you keep your pulse points warm—wrists, hands—you’ll stay warm all over. Our Colorwork Cuffs & Mittens prove that theory nicely! Pick a colorwork chart— we’ve picked the classic snowflakes!—an edging, and then finish as mittens (our choice here), fingerless gloves, or cute little cuffs!
We chose two heathered colors—Nordic-inspired red and cream—of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift for these beautiful colorwork cuffs. A fingering-weight, woolen-spun yarn made from the fleece of hardy, wee Shetland sheep. Nice and lofty, it has the perfect toothy texture and gorgeous color palette.
