Northern Lapwing mitten, 2-ply mitten kit

Knitting kit with yarn and pattern for mittens inspired by Alvilde's grandmother Henny and the now critically endangered lapwings.

"A lapwing that flew over your house and had a nest nearby meant good luck for people and livestock. The lapwing must not be disturbed or chased." - Alvilde

Designed by Alvilde Fredriksen, employee of Lofoten Wool.

The photos of the lapwing were taken by Martin Eggen, conservation advisor at Birdlife.
