Thrummed Mittens originate from Newfoundland and Labrador, and they are special mittens where little whisps of unspun wool roving (called \u201cthrums\u201d ) are incorporated into the mitten. These thrums felt over time with repeated wear to form a fleece lining that keeps your hands very warm. Recently, I finally took the plunge and decided to try knitting a pair, and you can read about my experience taking on this challenge project HERE<\/a><\/em><\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the thrill of knitting thrummed mittens, I thought it would be so neat to try and design some crochet thrummed mittens<\/strong>! There are not too many thrummed crochet patterns currently out there, and I thought that the crocheters of the world should experience the joy of working with and having their hands wrapped in incredibly warm thrums as well! I sat down with my bulky yarn and the design worked up so quickly as the numbers worked out well. I managed to design these mittens within a day and I am so excited to share the process with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For my knit mittens, I used the left-over unspun wool roving from my Extreme Knitted Blanket<\/a><\/strong> to make the thrums. However, I was running out of this wool roving and was looking into where I was going to source some more locally (I did not want to have to wait for shipping). Thankfully, I made a wonderful discovery: I could use some wool that was already sitting in my basement! Fifty Fifty Yarn from Lion Brand’s LB Collection<\/a><\/strong> is a super bulky 50% alpaca\/50% wool blend that is very loosely spun. I found out that I could gently untwist the strand and separate it into two parts. This width turned out to be the perfect size to make thrums when working with bulky yarn! I happened to have the “Ecru” cream color in my stash, and it comes in nine different shades. Each ball is 200 grams, which is enough to make thrums for three pairs of adult mittens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the instructions to make a thrum using Fifty Fifty Yarn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
