Mittens - Woolly
In the Far North of Canada, there are two types of heavy wool used for mittens. Stroud is the name of thick woven wool, which was used for centuries, brought by the Europeans into North America as a trade cloth. It is like a melton wool and also comes in a very thick version called duffle. Stroud and duffle are commonly used as they do not fray, have a tight weave and are quite warm. These fabrics are also used for coats and jacket.
My mittens can be made for any climate range, just let me know what temperature you want to wear them in and I can make recommendations. Generally, woolly mittens are better for moderate versus extreme cold weather.

BLUE SNOWFLAKE MITTENS
BLUE SNOWFLAKE
These mittens are made of a 100% wool duffle and beaded in a snowflake pattern. The trim is a special extra-plush white rabbit fur, (normal rabbit fur is fairly thin). The lining is made of the same blue duffle.
The mittens are attached to a mitten harness. I like to find just the right mix of colours for the harness so that they bring out the colour of the mittens and enhance the overall finished piece.
For more information on mitten harnesses, go to "mitten harnesses" under "Winter Wear."
