Product Details
The Naniboujou Fine Gauge Mittens were inspired by the fantastic dining room in Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant on Minnesota’s beautiful North Shore of Lake Superior. Just east of Grand Marais, the lodge was built at the end of the Roaring 20s to be a luxurious retreat club with founding member like Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey. When the stock market crashed in October 1929 many of the grandiose plans crashed as well, but the main lodge with its gorgeous dining room were nearly finished.
This dining room is a show-stopping example of color and artistic creation. Inspired by Cree Indian designs, painter Antoine Gouffe combined a multitude of clear, vibrant colors to create the modern murals on the walls and ceiling. Despite multiple owners and some years when the building sat vacant, the dining room has not been touched up or repainted since.
Knit this beautiful pair of fine gauge mittens in the vibrant hues of Rauma Finullgarn or Knit Picks Palette fingering weight yarns.
