Take a deep dive into the Lovikka knitting tradition, known for its unique embroidered cuff embellishments!
In this half-day workshop, students explore the rich history of this renowned tradition originally from the town of Lovikka, located near the Arctic Circle. After a short presentation, fiber artist Wendy Johnson leads students in the steps of how to knit the mitten on double-pointed needles, embroider the cuffs, and “full” (lightly felt) a miniature version of the Lovikka mitten. The mitten completed in class is a child’s size, though the provided pattern includes an adult-sized mitten that you may complete at home. These embellished mittens are sure to keep you cozy in the cold season or provide the perfect seasonal gift!
