Autumn Oak Mittens Syystammi-lapaset


Tein hernekuukusilla värjätyistä langoista tammi-lapaset. Kokeilin muutamaakin muuta pohjaväriä, mutta purin kokeilut ja parhaalta minusta näytti luonnonmusta pohja. Siitä erilaiset kellanruskeat nousevat kauniisti esille ja värit näyttävät juuri samalta kuin ruskan kellastamat tammen lehdet:)
Tein samoista langoista myös tarvikepaketteja kauppaani, näitä värejä ei riitä kovin pitkälle, mutta nyt paketteja on jonkin verran:)

In English
I knitted mittens with the yarns I had dyed with mushroom Pisolithus arhizus. I tried first couple of other basic colors for these mittens, but ended up frogging them and made a pair with natural sheep black as a basic color, I think that is so good with almost any naturally dyed color.)
These mittens are called Autum Oak- mittens, because I think the color is just like autumn color in leaves of oaks in my garden.
I had enough of these yarns to make a limited number of kits which are now available in my shop.
