Sildra

**Please note that these mittens are exclusive to The Selbu Mitten Club III which can be purchased [here][1].** Sildra features several characteristics of what most people think of as a Selbu mitten nowadays: the striped cuff, the two stacked ‘Selbu roses’ and the diamon grid in the palm, to name a few. The mittens work up quickly, and the pattern gives you row-by-row instructions that make these a suitable introductory mitten design. **Yarn** Daughter of a Shepherd Ram Jam (100% Yorkshire wool, 115 m / 126 yds, 50 g), or any other DK weight non-superwash yarn.
