Why felt a pair of mittens? Felted wool is not only warmer and more durable than knitted wool, it is also naturally water repellent and resists soiling. That makes it a perfect choice for snowman makers, fort builders, sledders and snowball throwers from toddlers to fathers. The mitten is knit in the round then felted in a washing machine, with the cuff added post felting. If you haven’t felted before, comprehensive instructions are given for how to felt the mittens in a washing machine.

Directly from Cindy:  "I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts." Newsletter Signup
