Solving more problems with yarn! I needed some new oven mitts and was just not thrilled with what I found in stores. Then I thought about how wool is flame retardant and super insulating and viola! The idea for these mitts was born! And let me tell you, these are the BEST oven mitts that I’ve ever used during a lifetime of cooking and baking. There is no heat transfer at all – even when I grab a HOT roasting pan from a 450 degree oven! I love them and I can’t stop making them. I LOVE this project! And since I, very often, have GBBO going, at least in the background, this seemed like a perfect gift for those special cooks and bakers in your life! And honestly, I can’t imagine getting a better gift than a fancy new pan/pot and some gorgeous, amazing hand-made oven mitts! Find kits in SEVEN colorsets here!! These mitts were apart of our May 2022 Save Our Sanity Knit Box - you can sign up for the next box here!
