EASY THRUM MITTENS
Thrum knitting is a time-honored tradition of knitting unspun wool inside knits to create natural insulation. The ends of the fleece are like soft pillows and cuddly warm.
On the outside the thrums will look just like little white hearts! The pattern instructs how to take wisps of the fleece and knit it into the mittens.
