Kit - Knitting - Wedding Mitts
Katrina King designed and knitted these heirloom Wedding Mitts (fingerless gloves) to knit for a special occaision, using Silken Cloud (70% bombyx silk/30% cotton).
The pattern, Mehndi-Inspired, was published in Piecework May/June 2017 Lace Issue, p 29-32. The pair of mitts weight 20g, so you can make 3-4 pairs from an 80g skein of Silken Cloud.
You can purchase the undyed yarn (approx 80g) with or without the Piecework issue.

Cotton is a cellulose fibre derived from the seed of the plant, similar to milk weed fluff. Cotton is the most consumed of all the natural fibres due to its versatility, high performance and appearance.
Cotton is soft, flexible, comfortable, strong, absorbent, washes easily and has a fair amount of elasticity. Silk blended with cotton adds more length, elasticity and shine to the cotton and is more affordable than 100% silk.
Yarn of the combined fibres is a pleasure to weave, with the hand of cloth being soft, smooth and cool, perfect for summer garments and scarves.
Color: Natural OR…for any of 100+ colors, order this yarn and then go to ‘Dye My Order’ to have your silk dyed for you. Or shop Treenway Silks’ Color Now! yarns
