Obviously they need to be strokably soft, so I decided to use some hand dyed alpaca I had left over from another project and combined it with some lovely merino for the green and orange pairs.
Here they are after laying out the fibres.
And once dry:
I also made a "rainbow" pair from merino, they are a little bit shorter than I planned but are quite wide so will suit larger hands.
And I started this piece too - can you guess what it is yet?

A beret! Your gloves are lovely! Very inviting looking!
ReplyDeleteThank you Galina, they are very comfortable to wear - it is so tempting to keep them! Not a a beret but I can see why you would think that.... ;)
DeleteFingerless gloves are popular here too. All those texters :) Perhaps another pod?
ReplyDeleteYes, I confess that is why I like fingerless gloves too - can't bear to be parted from my phone! ;) You know me too well Ruth, it is a pod but there is something a little bit special about this one....
DeleteVery nice, Teri :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Zed, the rainbow ones remind me of your work :)
DeleteI believe it might be a cat cave
