If like me you’re feeling the cold at the moment, beat the chill with cheery mittens and scarves by Blue Sky Knits. The beautiful folk motif patterns have been handed down by generations of knitters in rural Maine and Canada. These were knitters who knew how to make the best of cold conditions. The diamond and wave patterns are a blend of influences ’ from Norway, Ireland, Scotland and the Shetland Islands.

The double strands of yarn used to create colour patterns result in an extra layer of warmth. And because the mittens are lightly felted, they are especially durable, soft and cozy.
