Z twist yarn suggested
This project was spun as a Z-twist yarn from a wool fleece. I envision these fingerless mitts as the ideal handwear for the Vallkulla—the women who spend their summers in the cool highland forests of Sweden, grazing and tending their milk cows and goats—so I named them after these hardy women. If you don’t have any animals to milk, they are also great for any cold-weather activity in which you need to have your fingers free. Consider knitting a pair for winter spinning! They are especially well suited for drop spindle spinning since the cuff material makes a great surface for wrapping your fiber supply while it waits to be drafted. - W. J. Johnson
