The Waltz Fingerless Mittens feature a sinuous, dancing pattern of slipped stitches on both the front and the palm. They were inspired by the swirling, intertwining lines of Art Nouveau design reminiscent of dancers moving and twirling on the dance floor.
The Waltz Fingerless Mittens are worked from the cuff, starting with a two-color corrugated ribbing, transitioning into the pattern stitch which is worked in alternating rounds of color with slipped stitches. Gusset increases are worked for the thumb which is finished after completion of the hand. Hand and thumb are finished with matching ribbing.

BC Garn's Semilla Melange is a wonderful organic allrounder yarn. It's 100% wool, and woollen-spun, which makes it lofty and warm at the same time.
Semilla Melange is GOTS certified, which ensures the highest organic standards when it comes to how the fiber is grown, washed, spun, and dyed. The fleeces come from mulesing-free farms in South America, the spinning and dyeing is done in Turkey. Like all our yarns, it's non-superwash and plastic-free.
Semilla Melange is also a wonderful companion to our favorite color-changing yarn Zauberwolle and the delightfully fluffy Bérénice!
