Fleece Artist Thrum Socks or Mittens

What’s a Thrum? A thrum is a length of unspun roving that is knit into a stitch at the middle, so that the loose roving ends line the interior of the garment. Thrums have been used for a very long time to create ultra-warm, ultra-soft garments to make even cold winter nights comfortable. An excellent, well-explained article about thrumming can be found at The Yarn Harlot’s blog. There is just nothing else in the world like slipping your foot or hand into a cozy Thrum Sock or Mitten- every inch of your skin is caressed by the silkiest, softest, warmest, fleeciest stuff you’ve ever touched. Of course, the “stuff” is Fleece Artist roving, which explains why your foot or hand thinks it’s in heaven!
