You can read a potted profile of the Millar Mitt on the blog of American photographer, Jon Crispin
The fluffy wool back did stay nice and cosy warm, but the tougher crocheted palm was made of moisture-absorbing cotton and this often did feel rather
cold. Using a texturised nylon for the palm might be an improvement. It would be quicker drying than the cotton, yet still durable. Still, many who have
lost or retired their original Millarmitts, do miss them.
