The design features a beautiful colorwork pattern, worked with two colors based on a chart, adding a unique, striking look to these cozy mittens. Vanteværk is knitted in Wild Wool by Erika Knight, a soft and luxurious blend of wool and nettle fiber. This yarn offers excellent durability, warmth, and a beautifully rustic texture that will make these mittens a long-lasting and stylish accessory for the cold season.

Key Features:

  • Knitting Technique: Knit from the ribbing upwards, using two contrasting colors.
