Katrina King designed these heirloom Wedding Mitts (fingerless gloves) to knit for a special occasion, using Silken Cloud (70% bombyx silk/30% cotton). 

The pattern, Mehndi-Inspired, was published in Piecework May/June 2017 Lace Issue, p 29-32.  The pair of mitts weigh 20g, so you can make 3-4 pairs from an 80g skein of Silken Cloud.

KIT-Natural color
You can purchase the natural/undyed yarn (approx 80g) with or without the Piecework issue.

ABOUT THE YARN:
Cotton is a cellulose fibre derived from the seed of the plant, similar to milk weed fluff. Cotton is the most consumed of all the natural fibres due to its versatility, high performance and appearance.

Cotton is soft, flexible, comfortable, strong, absorbent, washes easily and has a fair amount of elasticity. Silk blended with cotton adds more length, elasticity and shine to the cotton and is more affordable than 100% silk.

Yarn of the combined fibres is a pleasure to knit, with the hand of cloth being soft, smooth and cool, perfect for summer garments and scarves.

Thank you Piecework magazine for the lovely photo of the mitts.
