Urth Yarns Austra's Boot Cuffs & Wrist Warmers

The mitts and cuffs in this kit alternate between a self-striping hand-dyed yarn and a solid. These interesting patterns, designed by Inese Iris Liepina, use Latvian braids as accents and the both projects include fair isle worked from charts. Cuffs tuck into the boot tops with the patterns portion protruding from the boot tops. Mitts have a bound off thumb opening but no knitted digits.

Urth Yarn partners with Trees for the Future, so each skein of Urth Yarns purchased plants a tree in Africa, to avoid soil erosion and provides food, fuel and marketable products.

The kit includes 2 patterns (mitts and boot cuffs) and 1 skein each of the Urth Yarns Uneek Fingering and Harvest Fingering, that will make both wrist warmer and cuff accessories. The photo model kit is colorway 3008+Indigo.

NOTE: This project participates in our Urth Yarns Direct Ship Program, where the yarn is sent directly from the manufacturer to you. You are ordering, paying and receiving customer service (including returns) from Colorful Stitches, however the yarn will ship from the yarn company in Miami. We will give your shipping information only to Urth Yarns to fulfill the order. If this concerns you, please contact us and we can work with your wishes. The pattern will be sent to you from Colorful Stitches separately.
