Purl & Jane Frankie Mittens
£4.50
Frankie Mittens - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
I designed these Frankie Mittens because several knitters expressed a desire to knit socks* but wanted to practise on double pointed needles without turning a heel!
While for me and experienced knitters I love knitting Frankie Mittens as they are quick to knit gifts and are great for relaxing evening knitting.
One of the most exciting things about these mittens is that the 2X2 is magical. It fits everyone’s hands! I designed the mittens with this rib for this reason and it is so lovely to see it happen! A gentleman, who said he had larger than average hands, tried on the pair in my Skipton Studio and they fitted him. He then took the pattern and yarn to knit his very first pair of fingerless mittens.
The Frankie Mittens use 35g/140m of the 100g ball so there is enough to make three pairs with one ball, with perhaps the last one being a little bit shorter than the others. Or great for using up left over sock yarn.

Rowan Seasonal Palette Cotton Cashmere
£9.50
Seasonal Palette Cotton Cashmere - Dee Hardwicke
An all-seasons yarn, Cotton Cashmere is also equally suited to country and city dressing. Layering is key and designs in this collection include and elegant coat, turtle-neck sweater and wrap. The palette was inspired by Dee's love of visiting city parks and garden squares when not at home in the countryside. The colours of early autumn tend to be less muted than those found in the natural landscape and this palette reflects that, featuring more saturated colours such as Indigo, Golden Dunes and new Myrtle. The shades are completely harmonious, working wonderfully however you choose to combine them.
