Downeaster Hat & Mitten Yarn Set by Mary O'Shea in Rauma Finullgarn & Plum

The Woolly Thistle is excited to offer another beautiful yarn set for Mary O'Shea's latest designs, Downeaster Hat and Mittens. Inspired by snowy days on the Maine coast, this monochromatic set offers interest in the triangular shapes and shift of black and grey shades. The Rauma Finullgarn & Plum create a light but warm fabric for a beautiful and cozy hat and mittens set.  

In Mary's design, we see the setting she describes as her inspiration: "pointy spruce and firs, rocks weathered by waves and wind, and islands, headlands and lighthouses fading into the distance."

Included in this yarn set:

• 5 x 50g balls of Rauma Finullgarn (100% Wool) in the recommended pattern colors.
• 1 x 25g balls of Rauma Plum (70% super kid mohair and 30% polyamid)
• The Woolly Thistle Project Tote

Please note, the pattern is easily available directly from the designer on Ravelry here: Downeaster by Mary O'Shea. Mary is generously offering a discount of 25% off of the pattern set to customers who purchase this kit. Discount code included with your yarn set.
