FO: Hanspun handwarmers

Warming Crafts said it best: "Listen to what the yarn wants!"

And the yarn wanted to be mitts
Nothing much to detail here - no real pattern - just whipped them up from memory on 4.5 mm needles. The yarn is nice and thick so they are nice and cozy. They took me an evening and a morning to finish.

It's pretty cool to look back at the whole project. It started with some fiber I dyed
And Mom spun into a nice worsted weight yarn
And ended as mittens, perfect for our sub-zero winter

    Always listen to the yarn. It knows best. Love the colors in that mix.

    Love that you went through the whole process of roving to yarn to mittens. They are beautiful.
