Fleece Artist/Handmaiden Favorite Soft Mitts /Headband (Kit)
Fleece Artist Chinook & Handmaiden Wisp, together with a mitten and headband pattern.
Fleece Artist Chinook is a lofty, superwash merino worsted yarn. Handmaiden Wisp is the softest mohair out there. Both are hand dyed in Canada with complementing Handmaiden/Fleece Artist colourways.
Use the combined yarns for the super-cozy mittens in the pattern, or take advantage of the matching colourways to come up with your own uniquely textured merino/mohair creations.
Note that all kits come with two skeins of yarn (Chinook + Wisp) in coordinated colourways, although some of the colour swatches show only one yarn.
