Kit Contains
Thrumming is a very old technique that is seriously fun and functional. Small tufts of roving (wool that hasn’t been spun into yarn yet) are knit into the garment creating a fuzzy warm layer on the inside and irresistible dots of colour the outside. As you wear them, the thrummed roving felts down, keeping your hands warm and cozy (take note dog owners, these are ideal winter dog walking mitts). The mittens will be the colour of the yarn and the thrums (roving) will peek through. This kit can also be used to make Thrummed Socks (great as house-socks or slippers)! Each kit is individually hand-dyed, no two will be exactly alike. Kit does not include needles: 3.5mm/US4 double pointed needles are required.
New Fino mini skein kits are a world of fun! The sets are available in 7 gorgeous colour combinations. One kit is enough to make a tube cowl (like the Annie Infinity Cowl), if you want to make a shawl it is advisable to buy two kits. Elegant and refined, Manos Fino combines the softness of merino wool with the lustre of silk in a lightweight yarn that’s perfect for heirloom accessories or luxurious garments. Fino also features a new dye process that yields complex, subtle, tonal colours.
A ‘Vamp’ is a Newfoundland term for a pair of hand knit ankle socks used both as house slippers and as boot liners. They are knit holding 2 strands of yarn together (one merino and one super soft kid mohair), these slippers are a warm and fuzzy tribute to this regional hand knit tradition. This pattern is best knit on double pointed needles rather than short circular needles. You can also knit this kit up as a warm and fuzzy pair of Mitts!
Vamps Kits are a double gift – they’re a great gift for knitters, and they also knit up as a wonderful gift.
Kit DOES NOT include 4mm double pointed needles

After knitting up a sample we found that seasoned sock knitters may not ‘get’ the pattern that is included with the kit. If you want an alternative path try using the free pattern for Rye Socks by TinCan Knits and making the following modifications:
Ok, so if you know me, you know that I like natural fibres. I’m not a snob, but I like the real thing. So if you are already familiar with the DMC ‘Top This’ kits, you’ll know it’s not really my ‘thing’. But as soon as my sales rep showed them to me I knew that a good number of you (especially those with little kids in your lives) would be TOTALLY into them. Each kit is a fun, whimsical yarn with a mixture of 3 continuous textures and colours and the most adorable coordinating stuffed animal character to top the knitted hat. The kit makes a baby or child size hat.
Kit DOES NOT INCLUDE 5.5mm/US9-16″ circular needles and 5.5mm/US9 double pointed needles
