large mitts – gray – a

Description

Handmade by members of Kullvi Whims women’s self-help group, each pair of mitts is unique. We source wool directly from local shepherds. After hand spinning yarn at home, the women gather natural dye materials from the orchards, fields, and jungles surrounding their villages. They work together to dye the yarns, and then knit following their own whims to combine colors and motifs. The peach color in the design of this pair was obtained from a tree bark which is also used as a tea. The green was dyed with onion skins.

The medium size mitts fit hands with 8″ – 8 1/2″ measurement around the knuckles. Take measurement with fingers held together.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent or soapnuts. Lay flat to dry.
