Thrumming

I'm trying something new. It's called Thrumming. My Aunt Sondra mentioned it to me a few months back so I thought I'd look into it. Basically, what you do, is knit unspun wool called Roving into your project.
















The result is a lining of wool that traps heat. My understanding is that they are SUPER warm.

I've gotten the cuff and the first round of thrumming done. It's not hard, but it is time consuming.













Each piece of roving needs to be pulled off the bunch of wool and they need to be a uniform thickness. This should keep me busy for a while though!!
