Pair of mittens, large. Hand knit of tightly spun and worked cream Z2S wool that seems to have the irregularity of twist and diameter indicative of hand spinning. Pile is worked into the structure, apparently the same yarn which lofts amazingly. Thumbs on side. Slightly pointy shape with short cuff. A row of blue yarn forms a line around the wrist, longer white tufts form a fuzzy line down the middle, with blue and red dots and tufts forming ‘branches.’ Longer tufts of cream and red wool on cuff; there are faded lavender spots around the open spaces and a line of it near the edge of the cuff. 11 3/4” long.
