Peony Mittens
NOT AVAILABLE
This pattern is sold only as a kit.
Peony mittens are inspired by peony flowers in my garden.
The kit includes generous amount of yarn dyed with plants, a color photo of the mittens, a colored chart and general written instruction. The pattern can be modified to make bigger or smaller mittens.
The colors in Peony mitten kit are all dyed with natural dyes: greens with mushroom Tapinella atrotomentosa, red and pink with madder, weld and cochineal and yellow with a polypore or willow leaves.
From the website: “Riihivilla- mittens are a combination of Finnish tradition, harmonous natural colors and motifs from Finnish nature.”
“These mittens are medium difficulty, and they require some experience with stranded knitting and ability to read chart.”
The kit is available in Finnish and in English.
