Materials Needed ~ Twined Fingerless Mitts

• Yarn: No single ply yarns! Around 4 oz. light colored worsted weight yarn for two mitts. Yarn MUST be wound into a center pull ball.
• 1 oz. contrasting yarn of the same weight for cast on and edge finish. Heathers and fuzzy yarns obscure the patterns. Four ply yarns show the textures best.
• Needles: One set of 7" long (or shorter) double pointed needles, size US 6 (4mm)
• Extras: Tapestry needle and stitch markers, waste yarn for holding stitches, magnetic board or sticky notes for keeping one's place on the chart
