Wool is best for mittens because it absorbs moisture away from the skin and is insulating which makes it a perfect material to keep your hands warm during the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have sensitive skin you can use soft wool such as merino but for adult&#8217;s mittens, I recommend something a bit more rustic because merino pills and is not as durable as the &#8220;woolly&#8221; wools. Babies are an exception because they usually have more sensitive skin and their mitts get less wear so soft wool works well for baby mittens. In the end, this is a matter of taste: if you prefer softness over durability then by all means use merino wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Synthetic fibers such as acrylic and plant-based fibers such as cotton and bamboo are not a good choice for mittens because unlike wool they hold the moisture next to your skin and in cold weather, your pair of mittens quickly turns into a pair of icicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yarn Construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The yarn used for mittens does not have to be as durable as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/blog\/best-yarn-for-knitting-socks\/\">the yarn you use for socks<\/a> which means that you can use something that is not as tightly spun or does not have nylon as a reinforcement. You can use even single-ply yarn if you buy wool that you can felt to make the fabric stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Superwash vs Non-Superwash Wool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Superwash wool&nbsp;<\/strong>can be machine-washed and it resists felting. However, the manufacturing process is not always environmentally friendly and the wool loses in my opinion some of its best qualities and becomes less elastic and warm as well as water and dirt resistant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-superwash wool&nbsp;<\/strong>needs to be hand-washed but it has all the great qualities that make wool such a popular fiber for sweaters. The non-superwash wools felt so you can use that property to your advantage and with the help of warm water and soap, you can make the fabric denser, warmer, and more durable. Because wool is naturally dirt resistant hand washing small accessories every now and then is not a big deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yarn weight (the thickness of yarn)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, yarns can be divided based on their thickness roughly in the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How many yards there are approximately \/ 3.5 oz \/ 100g<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Yarn weight<\/strong>&nbsp;(from thinnest to thickest)<\/td><td><strong>Yards \/ 3.5oz<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Meters \/ 100g<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fingering (super fine)<\/td><td>360 \u2013 460<\/td><td>330 \u2013 420<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sport (fine)<\/td><td>300 \u2013 360<\/td><td>275 \u2013 330<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DK (light)<\/td><td>240 \u2013 290<\/td><td>220 \u2013 265<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worsted (medium)<\/td><td>200 \u2013 220<\/td><td>180 \u2013 200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bulky<\/td><td>110 \u2013 142<\/td><td>100 \u2013 130<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic mittens made of fingering and sport-weight yarn are quite thin and I use them mostly in spring or autumn (sometimes in Finland you need them also during summers). My kids wear them underneath their commercially produced winter gloves to absorb moisture and bring some extra warmth. If you have sensitive skin you can make a pair of thin merino wool mittens to be used under a thicker pair of mittens. Worsted and bulky mittens are quite thick and warm and I use them during winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stranded knitting and cables for instance make the fabric thicker so even with fingering or DK weight yarn you can produce quite a warm pair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You might also be interested in: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/blog\/how-much-yarn-do-you-need-for-a-pair-of-mittens\/\">How much yarn do you need for a pair of mittens<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Yarn for Knitting Mittens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below I have listed a few good yarn options that you can use to make a warm and durable pair of basic mittens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Worsted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-top uagb-columns__gap-0 align uagb-columns__reverse-mobile uagb-block-6b1d41aa uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-480cdd43\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<p>This yarn has excellent stitch definition and heirloom durability for every day accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This yarn is also available in sport and bulky weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"no-style-list\">\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong>&nbsp;Worsted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiber Content:<\/strong>&nbsp;100% Non-Superwash Wool <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Care:<\/strong> Hand wash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2ulj0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy on KnitPicks.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-6bf09769\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-margin-top\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/d2q9kw5vp0we94.cloudfront.net\/i\/_\/big\/11453220_2.jpg~w=1000,h=1000,v=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12454\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=726901&amp;u=2651433&amp;m=59159&amp;urllink=www%2Eknitpicks%2Ecom%2Feagle%2Dpine%2Dmittens%2Fp%2F11453D&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Eagle Pine Mittens pattern knitted with Woold of the Andes Worsted.<\/a><br><em>\u00a9&nbsp;<\/em>KnitPicks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cascade 220<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-top uagb-columns__gap-0 align uagb-columns__reverse-mobile uagb-block-500db376 uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-9a4ce02c\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s almost no project that Cascade 220 is not suitable for except socks.
