Using Plymouth Galway as the main color and Plymouth Gina as the contrast color, these mittens match but not quite. The contrast yarn is never knit. Instead, it is woven in and out of the knit/slipped stitches of the main color. As a result, it is a fast knit with an interesting texture and extra warmth. The stitch pattern is a modified Swedish weave so we named the mitten after the county in Maine where there are Swedish colonies.
