Newfoundland or Thrum Mittens

I've started a different mitten and they are suppose to be the warmest hand made mitten around.
They are called Newfoundland or Thrum Mittens.
They are made with Briggs and Little Yarn.

    

       After you finish the cuff and start to knit the main mitten you add a piece of this handspun yarn, called roving, every 3rd stitch. Each strand is 3-4 in. long.

I found mine online from a lady in BC.

It takes approx. 50g. of roving for one pair of mittens.

Usually you will see mittens like theses with one color of roving, but I was into our local Cricket Cove and saw a pair that was multicolored.

When I received my roving in the mail, she had packaged 6 different colors, and so I can get my varigated look in the mitten.



This is what the inside of the mitten looks like, therefore the warmth.
