Cabled mittens in a local alpaca yarn to keep your fingers warm and support your neighborhood businesses.

Buying from nearby farmers helps your local economy, supports small businesses, and preserves beautiful land in your neighborhood. I knit these mittens from local alpaca and encourage you to seek a fiber source in your area.

You can find local fiber at a farm market, fiber festival, LocalHarvest.org, or even Craigslist.
