Lush Fingerless Mitts
designed by Susan Mills
The Yarn
Lush
50% wool, 50% angora
Lush is a blend of wool and
angora spun into a 4 ply worstedweight yarn. The wool in the mix
keeps the yarn stable and sturdy
and the twist of the yarn provides
a bit of spring. The addition of
angora makes the yarn extremely
soft and cuddly and provides a
lovely even halo.
