The secret is thrumming, a traditional technique used to create super warm mittens in chilly Newfoundland and Labrador. Every few stitches a wee bit of unspun fibre is worked into a stitch creating a fun pattern on the outside. The loose ends create a thick, fluffy layer on the inside just like a sheepskin. We like using bright thrums against a neutral background but there are endless options to use up stash and play with colours. With ten sizes covering little kids to big guys you’ll be able to keep everyone’s toes cozy.

Between 1 and 4oz / 30 and 115g fibre for thrums. The exact amount required will depend on the fibre used and the amount in each thrum so it’s difficult to give a more precise quantity. Use a non-superwash wool that feels nice and soft to you. It’s important not to use a superwash fibre because you want the sole to felt into a nice even lining over time. Superwash fibres won’t felt together and could fall out. Merino, BFL and Shetland are all ideal and easy to find. It’s easier to make the thrums from combed top but carded batts or roving will give a lovely fluffy effect once you manage to separate somewhat even pieces!
We have sets of rainbow roving available
The sole is worked back and forth, if using dpns use just 2 needles.

Newly arrived! New Lanark Chunky will keep your toes warm and cozy. New Lanark Mill is situated only an hour south-west of our Edinburgh studio in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spun on historic machinery from the 19th century New Lanark yarn is simply like no other. This classic yarn is slowly and minimally produced.
