Rokavičke iz kuhane volne - Small mitts - knitted and fulled


 
Najmlajša dva imata pozimi kar precej težav z mrzlimi rokami - rokavičke pa težko nosita. Pa sva rekli z mamico: mogoče ju pa moti tista toga plastika, ki res ne prepušča mokrote, ampak tudi hudo leze dol z rok. In sem spletla tele rokavičke iz volne za filcanje v pralnem stroju. Za zapestje pa sem uporabila prejo s polovico akrila in polovico volne, da je po pranju ostala prožna.
My youngest two grandsons have great problems with freezing hands in winter - they hardly ever wear mittens. So their mummy and I thought: perhaps they can't stand the stiff plastic, which does protect their hands from moisture but makes the mitts slip off their hands very easily. So I knitted these mitts using wool yarn for machine fulling whereas the wrists are knitted from a yarn 50% acrylic and 50% wool. 

 Še pomeriti jih je treba, potem pa spletem še en par za bratca-dvojčka. Te bodo rumene s sivim zapestjem.

After we try them on and see how they fit I'll knit another pair for the other twin. These will be knitted in yellow, with wrists equally grey.

Sicer smo sredi pomladi, ampak ta teden z vsemi snežnimi plohami, sodro in temperaturami pod ničlo je bil ravno pravi za tole pletenje.

We're in the middle of spring, true, but this week seemed perfect for the knitting, with snow storms, sleet and temperatures below zero.

In ne, volna ni barvana z rastlinami.
And no, the yarn isn't natural dyed.
