Alpaca Fingerless Gloves in Two Colors

Wed, 02/17/2010 — Monica

These fingerless gloves were knitted with alpaca yarn so soft, it feels like you are caressing a kitten or puppy. Not only was the yarn a pleasure to knit, but the gloves are luxurious to wear. They were designed as fingerless gloves to allow me to wear them while typing at the computer. Alpaca yarn was selected for its warmth and a stranding technique was used to provide a further layer of insulation and greater warmth. The room in which our computer is housed is cold--good for computers, not so good for typing! The gloves provide the perfect mix of comfort and style, while keeping the fingers cozy. The photo on the right shows the stranding technique.
