Meara Mittens

 

 HGF Meara is a chestnut agouti French Angora.
 
 
French Angora color is very intense, here are two skeins of yarn made from Meara's wool.  Chestnut agouti has white tummy, in order to make the yarn even in color, it's better to separate the wool from the back and from the tummy.  These two skeins of yarn are from Meara's wool on the back and the sides. 
 
 
Here are three pairs of fingerless mittens made from Meara's yarn.   It's interesting to observe that the two pairs with off-white cuffs look smaller in size than the pair with the black cuffs.   Actually they are made with the same stitches on the same needles.   The main reason is that the black yarn is thicker than the off-white yarn.  As a result the pair with black cuffs expanded the size of the mittens.
