Please note that these mittens are exclusive to The Nordic Mitten Club which can be purchased here.

Aslaug is the first installment in the Nordic Mitten Club, and the only Norwegian Selbu mitten in this collection. It features the striped cuff, black and white design and thumb gusset of a classic Selbu mitten. However, unlike the traditional Selbu mittens in fine yarn, these mittens are knitted quickly in DK weight yarn.
