Yarn Requirements:
To knit the Numida Mitts, you'll need approximately 160 (200, 240) yards / 146 (183, 219) meters of main color (MC) fingering weight yarn. You'll also need around 36 (45, 55) yards / 33 (41, 50) meters of contrasting color (CC) fingering weight yarn. We recommend using The Lamb & Kid Kiddo, which features a luxurious blend of 85% merino wool superwash and 15% nylon, with 220 yards (201 meters) per 50 grams. For our sample, we used 1 skein of colorway Concrete for the main color and 1 skein of colorway Downy for the contrasting feathers in size 7.25” / 18 cm.
