These fingerless mitts came from wanting to try making something using Coniston Fingering held double at a fairly dense gauge. I wanted to see how warm and cosy the fabric would be and the answer is very. Continuing with different yarn combinations the pink pair is made in super-luxurious Staveley 4ply plus fluffy Brimham Fluff (Lace) for an incredibly soft and lofty fabric. You could use DK on its own if you prefer.
