The Yarn


To crochet these mittens you need 2 colors of yarn called Naturgarn from Filcolana. It’s a 100 % wool yarn & it’s super soft.

The yarn comes in many beautiful colors, but you could easily substitute for any super bulky yarns. Maybe you already have something perfect for this in your stash?

If substituting, note that this super bulky yarn is on the thinner side.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?


How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.
