Recently and almost consecutively, both Dave's and my felted mittens developed holes in the thumbs. I mended the holes with scrap Lamb's Pride Bulky which is also the yarn the mitten were knit with. Then I re-felted the mittens. I did a woven darn because I thought it would hold up better.
Leather kits are available for hand knit mittens. But the leather does not cover the area where the thumbs seem to wear out; it must be to add grip. Maybe I should wrap the entire thumb in leather for the next go-around.
