Wensleydale wool fingerless gloves

These soft and stylish fingerless gloves have been hand knit using fabulously soft Wensleydale British wool. The colour is a pale blue green, sometimes called aqua or sea foam.

They have a long cuff to slip under your coat to keep the draughts out. The back has a classic Y-cable design, while the palm is plain. The gloves end in a band of rib, leaving your fingertips clear to use your phone or doorkey easily.

They measure 19cm (7.5 inches) long including the cuff, 14cm (5.5 inches) for the hand section, and the knit is stretchy enough to fit most average adult hands. Gentle hand wash recommended.

I love working with the many different wools produced here from British breeds of sheep. The Wensleydale is from Yorkshire; it has long shiny, crinkly wool that looks like dreadlocks. It is very soft and lustrous, my favourite for gloves.
