Sheep Wool Mittens
Munsiyari, Uttarakhand
Mittens knitted from undyed local sheep wool in the natural greys and browns of the flock. The gauge is deliberately tight, so mountain wind does not pass through the stitches. Inside, the wool is slightly coarse at first touch and softens with wear. Made for high-village winters; more than enough for a city December.

- The hands
- Each pair is knitted flat-thumbed first, then tried against the knitter's own hand for fit before the second mitten begins.
Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
