shops This wrist warmer or fingerless glove depending on your preference of name started as just 100% Corriedale Cross wool that I hand dyed with Jacquard teal and purple. Hand spun on drop spindles then chain plied to keep the colors together for more color definition. Chain plying takes a single ply of wool and turns it a thicker 3 ply yarn for additional warmth.
The way that this yarn was dyed it has the main color of a lite teal with areas of purple magenta and navy occasionally showing up.
Photographed on the red steamer trunk that my great grandmother used when she immigrated back to the United States from Czechoslovakia in the 1930's.
Putting my different physical therapies to use, to produce items that you will love to wear in the colder months. I crocheted each glove starting with a thick band around that ensures that your wrist will stay protected from cold drafts in case your coat sleeve slides up your arm as well as at the knuckles.
Each one is hand crocheted as a set alternating to keep the similar sized between the pair. Given the handmade nature of these size may vary a bit.
Between the hand spinning on drop spindles and crocheting there is about 45 to 55 hours of labor in the production of these wrist warmers.
Measure the widest part of your hand in order to determine your size. This is usually across your knuckles on your hand.
