...boiled mittens, fingerless mittens, leg warmers and socks

New England Boiled Mittens.  Yankee Magazine in February of 1983 published an article by Robin Hansen on "women who knew how to knit woolen mittens that were nearly impenetrable to the cold, especially when wet."  These mittens are knit large and then repeatedly soaked in salt  water and shrunk until they are matted and dense.  "If you have a fisherman in the family, or if you spend much of the winter by the sea, try knitting a pair of these remarkably warm, thick, almost water repellent mittens for someone in your family."  The mittens  would also be good for anyone in winter sports.  A copy of this article is available with the purchase of wool (with permission from the publisher of Yankee Magazine.)

...shawls, scarves, lap robes, and vests

Woven shawl with handspun and dyed angora, alpaca, and other combinations of yarn--again, really, really warm for that person who needs a lap robe when cold.  It is easily managed, a lot of warmth in a small garment. Lap robes and shawls may also be knitted or crocheted.

Another type of lap robe crocheted with Warner Wool and decorated with handspun and dyed mohair.

Natural handspun knitted angora scarf with wood buttons and crocheted scarf with antler button ornamentation.  Scarves can be kitted, crocheted, or woven with angora and other combinations of yarn.  The possibilities are endless.

...some notes...

Products made from 100% angora can be extremely warm and heavy.  I have begun several projects with 100% handspun angora that I gave up on because I would have suffocated in them!  It is important to think of the finished product from this perspective.

Knit, woven, or crocheted items like the New England Boiled Mittens can be felted to increase the insulating qualities of the product; the original would need to be larger than the expected  finished product.
