Hand crocheted with 100% alpaca yarn, these long fingerless gloves are super soft, warm, and feel wonderful next to your skin! These fingerless mitts have a lot going on and are loaded with texture. Crocheted with a ribbed cuff, and a thumb, there are bobbles and puffs and treble crochets on the diagonal, all crochet stitches that make this a very interesting pattern. The gloves are extra long which enable them to be pulled up on your arm or scrunched up around your wrist.

Also known as pulse warmers, people living in the colder mountainous areas of Europe have worn fingerless gloves for centuries. By warming the arteries in your wrists, wrist warmers, arm warmers, and the like, they assist in keeping your whole body warmer. Fingerless gloves are more than a winter or an outdoor accessory. Also wonderful in cold offices, they don’t hinder your fingers like gloves.

Alpaca fiber is naturally wonderful to the touch, has a soft and comforting feel that you can wear next to your skin. Alpaca is warmer and stronger than the fiber of other animals, is light weight, and quite water resistant. Yocum-McCall testing laboratories has shown alpaca to be three times warmer than sheep's wool. How's that for warm?
