Mitten Supplies

●      Pelts – to ensure softness and longevity professional garment/soft tanned pelts are recommended

●      Pelt size and quantity will vary greatly based on species and mitten size

●      General Guidelines for XL mittens:

●       Beaver, Coyote, Otter: 2 large pelts

●      Raccoon, Fox, Bobcat: 4 Large pelts

●      Buckskin or other soft leather (moose, or upholstery cowhide)  for palms

●      Lining fabric -polyester polar fleece is recommended for the pattern, if you are using wool you may need to size up

●      Non-stretch fabric for sewing test mitten -upholstery fabric works well (Joann Fabrics)

●      Heavyweight Cotton Twill Tape 1 ¼” width (1 ½” will work too, and may be easier to find), 2 yards -or other binding material-

●      Sharp blade for cutting hide: Furrier knife , scalpel, Xacto blade, utility knife

●      Extra blades

●      Thread

●      Hand sewing thread: polyester or nylon upholstery weight thread, such as Coats & Clark Upholstery Thread, bonded nylon size #46 or similar

●      Fur Machine sewing thread: whatever works well in your machine. I like bonded nylon size #46 for sewing beaver mittens. You will need a thinner thread for thinner hides, I like using home sewing machine thread for thinner hides (fox), like Coats & Clark All Purpose polyester thread.

●      Home sewing machine thread: All purpose polyester thread

●      Needles

●      Hand sewing

●      Glovers needle size 003 or similar

●      Optional: Sharps hand sewing needle size 003 or similar, for sewing binding
