Thrummed Mittens


Thrummed Mittens Workshop 

A Traditional Technique for the Toastiest Hands!

Years ago in England, woolen mills discarded slubs of wool—called “thrums.” Resourceful knitters would gather these bits and knit them into their mittens for extra texture and warmth. This clever tradition traveled to Newfoundland with early settlers, where it kept hands warm through harsh winters. After nearly fading into history, thrummed mittens are making a cozy comeback—and we’re bringing them to The Yarn Lady!

In This Class, You’ll Learn:

  • How to prepare and place thrums

  • The technique for knitting them into your project

  • Tips for maintaining even tension and a neat look

  • How to shape a mitten that’s both beautiful and functional


These mittens are like wearing sheep on your hands—cozy, fluffy, and uniquely handmade. Don’t miss this fun way to explore a nearly-lost tradition.
