The Friendship Mittens, inspired by friendship bracelets, is a great project to use a DK yarn stash! The main color (MC) requires most of a skein of Rowan Felted Tweed, but the remaining five colors only use about 35 yds (32 m).

These mittens are great for folks looking for a colorwork challenge, and they are not recommended for folks new to colorwork. Most of the colorwork rows are 2 or 3 colors at a time, but a few rows have 4 colors at once.
