Lumps n' Bumps Mitts and Mittens
Fiber Used: Mittens: “Adelaide” on Polwarth by Southern Cross Fibres
Mitts: “Trouble Maker” on BFL by Hello Yarn
Yarn Details: Thick and Thin Singles - 4.5WPI, Spin direction - Z, Ratio: 7:1
Method of Finishing Yarn: Fulled
Fiber Prep (incl. Predraft): Both started out as Combed top - Mittens: Split a bunch of times to have short color sections to keep from striping. Mitts: no predrafting.
Drafting Method: Short Draw
Wheel Used: Louet S51DT
Yarn Classification: Chunky
Suggested Commercial Substitutes: di.ve Fiamma, Malabrigo Aquarella, Crystal Palace Labrador and Labrador Print.
Yardages: 110 yards in each skein skein
Weight of fiber used: I spun 4 ounces but used about 3 in the Mittens - the Mitts used it all up but about 3 yards. I did the smallest size so for the larger sizes in Mittens, 4 ounces should be fine but in the Mitts you will need around 6 ounces for the Medium and Large.
