Thrummed Mitten Knitting Workshop

  • Southport General Store 443 Hendricks Hill Road Southport, ME, 04576 United States (map)

Cozy up with a new skill this winter—learn to make classic thrummed mittens! Thrumming is the traditional technique of knitting small tufts of roving into your stitches, creating a warm, fleece-lined interior and a beautiful patterned effect on the outside. The result? The coziest mittens you’ll ever wear.

In this workshop, we’ll guide you through the process of making thrummed mittens from start to finish. This class is designed for knitters who are already comfortable with the basics (knit and purl). We’ll be working with double pointed needles, using Maine-raised yarn and Maine-raised roving—materials that are all included in your registration (a $58 value!).

This workshop is a continuation of our September Thrummed Mitten Knit-Along, so it’s the perfect opportunity to dive in if you missed it, or to get extra support as you work on your pair. And don’t forget—our weekly Knitting Group meets Wednesdays from 4–6 pm, offering community and support both before and after the workshop.

Come learn a time-honored Maine tradition and leave with skills (and mittens) to keep you warm for years to come.
