These cute and quick to knit fingerless mittens are perfect to keep your wrists and hands snuggly when it is umbrella weather, which here in Bergen, is a lot of the time. They feature stranded colourwork umbrellas, as well as an easy to knit lace section that represents the raindrops.

Yarn length:
100g = 350m/380 yards 50g = 175m/190yards

Trollfjord sock base is durable enough for socks yet soft enough to use for shawls, hats, mittens and garments or even children´s clothing. It contains non-superwash wool but you can still machine wash on a wool program at 30 degrees with a detergent specifically for wool. However I always prefer to handwash my knitwear in general. Dry flat and do not tumble dry. I have used professional acid dyes and thoroughly washed and rinsed this yarn with a gentle wool wash detergent. I do however recommend washing items separately for the first couple of washes as very minimal colour bleeding may occur.
