Mitten kit
Kettu
Warm woolly mittens with a fox-inspired ("kettu" = fox) geometric motif dancing across the hand. Three colours, one adult size, and the accent slot is made for a variegated yarn that makes the motif shimmer with many colours at once.

The motif itself. We point you toward variegated yarns here: they make the fox read as many colours from one ball.

What arrives at your door
A little parcel, honest and hand-packed
Every Kettu kit arrives with:
- Three wound yarn balls, weighed to the amount you'll actually knit
- A printed band around each ball with its slot (A / B / C), colour name, source and grams
- A hangtag with a QR code that opens the Kettu pattern PDF on your phone
The bag itself is repurposed too. Most of our kits travel in gift bags, wine-bottle bags and paper sleeves that already had one life. Reused yarn deserves reused wrapping.
