A neat array of repeating motifs defines Valley Yarns Nigella, long and luxurious fingerless mitts, which also feature a practical afterthought thumb. Nigella is knit using Valley Yarns Valley Superwash Sport in the round to facilitate the stranded colorwork. They’ll make a lovely gift heading into cold weather. Valley Superwash Sport is made from soft extra-fine superwash Merino - you’ll love the stitch definition and drape of this yarn, and it is also machine-washable! The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.
