More fully lined mittens. Hand knitted by my mother and I. These mittens are warm because of two knitted layers. The lining is either from one of my brown alpacas named W***y or from one of my beige alpaca named Nemo. The lining is 80% alpaca and 20% bamboo. Bamboo is anti-fungal, soft and gives a heather tone color. Colored yarn is dyed by others that I bought at fiber festivals or online small businesses. The outside of the mittens are an alpaca blend (alpaca, merino, nylon). Pictures show part of the cuff turned up to show knit lining. I knit the cuff a little longer because when you reach for something, your coat sleeve rides up, leaving a gap for cold to get to your skin.
