*CLASS: Luffe Mittens THURSDAYS 3:30-5:30 1/16 & 1/23

Luffe Mittens

Luffe are warm double mittens for the whole family. They are essentially two mittens connected at the cuff, and can potentially be reversible based on yarn weight choice. The outer mitten is a 2-color stripe - use a fun, high contrast color for the lining/inside mitten! They also have a unique thumb gusset that perfectly matches the anatomy of the hand.

Instructor Bio: From Shari Besser – “I’ve been teaching classes since 1998, when my twins graduated from high school, and Zandy from Zandy’s yarn shop took a chance on me! I learn more from people than I teach! My grandma taught me to crochet and knit a bit, but a friend sat me down and taught me the basics, I’m so thankful for her! I’m still learning and in awe of what so many accomplish. I might be a familiar face as I’ve taught at a few shops!”
