| Full description: |
One duffle inner mitten, made of cream-coloured blanket cloth and with beige-pink wool stitching, for use inside a sealskin outer mitten (N: 123c). The construction of the mitten is not clear but it appears to have been made of two pieces of cloth – one for almost all of the mitten and the other for the thumb – with additional pieces for reinforcement or repair on the top of the fingers, the tip of the thumb and the part between the thumb and finger. The stitching is blanket stitch around the seams and over-and-over stitch on the additional pieces. There is no stitching around the opening. There is a length plaited wool (same wool as the stitching) at the opening of the mitten.
