Tamarack, or the larix laricina, is a deciduous coniferous tree native to eastern North America. It is a hearty tree that is well capable of surviving winters in the northern territories of Yukon and Nunavut. The tree gets its name from Algonquin tribes, who often used it’s wood to make snowshoes.
These mittens are a great beginner pattern. The texture pattern is made up of knits and purls to add a bit of visual interest without too much trouble.
