Big Fat Fuzzy Green Mittens





Carol found a pattern for big fat mittens, she uses commercial lump yarn to test the pattern and love the outcome.  



The next step naturually was to make the mitterns with Angora yarn.   Betty's dyed green lumpy English Angora yarn fit the bill.    The white commercial yarn is used to add a lining to the cuffs.




Here is one of the finished mittens.  Angora yarn has very little memory, if it stretches out, it does not go back.  The white commercial yarn lining is to help secure the mitten on the wrist.



This is how it looks when the mitten is on Carol's hand.
