Those cold winters call for more than just any kind of mittens. Thrumming is a technique that incorporates pieces of fibre/roving into your knitting creating a soft, insulating layer between you and that winter chill. These cozy mittens will keep your hands nice and toasty until you can make it to your next cup of tea or hot chocolate. 

In this workshop, you'll learn a bit about fibre, some history and then get your hands on some yarn and roving to try it out yourself!  You'll get to choose from a variety of colors of fibre to add a splash of color to your winter wardrobe. Some speedy knitters might even have a full mitten by the end of the class but all students will go home with a new skill under their belt and their new favorite winter mittens on their needles.
