Practicality and style featuring traditional “feather and fan” hand-knit lace stitches.
The mittens have deep rib cuffs at the wrist.
Fingerless gloves can be traced back as early as the 19th century. Gloves were an essential item in a ladies wardrobe during this time and lace mitts could complement day or evening wear as decorative accessories.
In farming circles, the fingerless gloves are still known as lambing gloves.
Even though the fingers remain exposed, your hands are warm and toasty. Pulse points are covered as well as palms, backs of hands and wrists.

ABOUT YARN MILL AND YOUR HANDMADE GARMENT
Yarn Mill is the result of a collaboration between three friends Russell, Paul and Melanie who share a love of all things knitted - Garments, Accessories, Soft Furnishings etc. Each is passionate about quality, authenticity, tradition and pushing the boundaries of yarn, stitch development, texture, embellishment and shape. Together they are Yarn Mill.
The name derives from Russell’s ancestral links to the West Yorkshire woollen mills and Paul’s studio base at his family home, a renovated Devon watermill that dates back to the Doomsday Book.
Each of the team is motivated by the desire to create the highest quality, original pieces possible with the minimum impact on the environment. This is not a response to any current fashion trend - rather a recognition of the need for something more personal, individual and lasting.
There is no compromise on the quality of the natural raw materials used - merino wool, alpaca, silk, and linen. These combined with traditional manufacturing techniques result in timeless, original and ultimately desirable pieces
