Yesterday at the Hoorn Weversmarkt I bought a big skein of undyed Polderdraad yarn, made from Texelaar-Swifter sheep's wool. It's super chonky and has an amazing aroma that reminds me of being aboard old ships. I'm hopeful these fingerless gloves will be very warm and robust for my next voyage!

Decided to close the thumb on the second mitten. A big advantage of nalbinding is that if it gets in the way, I can just cut it off without concern for the rest of the fabric.

@th@social.v.st The gloves look like something a Hanse sailor would wear on a cold day
