TMKC: Thrummed Mittens



 

“Thrum” originally referred to the short lengths of waste yarn leftover after woven cloth was cut off the loom. In the spirit of necessary thriftiness, craftspeople would find a variety of uses for these thrums—stuffing pillows and mattresses, and after a while, knitting them into mittens and hats to provide an extra layer of warmth.

 

Each thrum, or short length of yarn, would be worked together with the main knitting yarn as a single stitch, with the ends of the thrum left hanging inside the mitten to provide insulation.
