Helmsley wristwarmers are a pair of fingerless mittens with small cables. They are knitted in only a few hours and are the ideal project if you need a quick gift. They add colour to your wardrobe and the Border Leicester wool will keep you warm. The cables and the ribbing make them snuggly.

The castle at Helmsley was only 1.9 miles (3 km) from Rievaulx Abbey and Walter l’Espec granted the land for the abbey. Aelred, who was the abbey’s first novice master, was known to be involved in l’Espec’s affairs (military and personally) and Helsmley was often used as a place of safety during periods of instability.

In prehistoric times the busy town of Helmsley was likely to have been a place where people gathered to conduct
business and celebrate festivals. Today the town’s bustling market square still echoes this early purpose.
