True, true about the barn mittens - I knit mine from our angora and romney blended
and two plied and they are warmer than toast.  I have tried so many different kinds
of gloves for the winter sheep chores and I keep coming back to the good old
mittens.  I have thermofilled gloves, water proofed gloves and lined leather work
gloves all stacked up on the radiator - but the ones that live in my barn coat
pockets are the ratty felted wool/angora ones. Yeah, they do get wet and they do
attract hay and dirt. But I leave them on the radiator overnight and the dirt
shakes off in the AM. And besides, I can catch snowflakes on them .....try that on
nylon - it just isn't the same.
