This kit includes the materials you'll need to knit up a pair of the cozy Winterlight Mittens, as featured in upcoming Issue 53::AMEND (pattern by Abby Goodman). The perfect fall knitting to prepare for the winter-y days ahead. Wrapped up in a drawstring Taproot Project Bag (featuring original artwork by Rosanna Morris), the kit or the finished object would make a wonderful gift too! These squishy skeins from Harrisville Designs are neutral tones at a glance but upon upon closer look reveal marbling of subtle colors, which makes the yarn extra special to work with and wear.

Meet the Maker: Harrisville Designs
Harrisville Designs has been spinning 100% Virgin Wool Yarn in Harrisville, New Hampshire for over 50 years. As one of a handful of woolen mills left in this country, Harrisville's textile tradition is rich and dates back to 1794 when the first of several mills was built across the Nubanusit River to harness the water-power necessary for carding fleeces brought down to the village from local hilltop farms. The Harris family built many of the original mill buildings and houses for their family and workers. Harrisville Designs was founded in 1971 to keep the textile tradition alive and to create jobs in Harrisville for the economic vitality of the town. Harrisville Designs continues to make high quality, natural 100% wool yarns for knitting and weaving along with beautiful carded fleece for felting and spinning.
