Handknit wristwarmers in vibrant purple to brighten your Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

These wristwarmers are hand-knitted in a pure wool and alpaca blend yarn, from a pattern I wrote myself.

These gloves feature ribbed cuffs to keep your gloves snug for extra warmth, at the wrist and at the edge near your fingers.

Wristwarmers are a great transition item for between seasons - that time when it's too cold for bare hands but not quite chilly enough for full gloves or mittens. And for anyone who has circulation issues, wristwarmers can really make a difference.

Every pair of wristwarmers I knit is unique, just like people. Also, my squirrel-like brain won't permit endless repetition!

Each glove is knitted individually, so please allow for some slight differences. I like to think that bland perfection is for supermarkets, not handicrafts; these fingerless gloves are more like sisters than twins.

HOW TO LOVE AND CARE FOR THEM FOREVER:

These fingerless gloves are knitted with a pure wool/alpaca mix yarn so are handwash only. I recommend a very cool soak with a tiny bit of gentle wool soap (there's lots of really good no-rinse soaps out there), squeeze excess moisture out (DON'T WRING!) before blotting with a towel and laying flat to dry.

Yes, this procedure looks like a bit of a pain but the (really) good news is that it doesn't have to be done very often - natural fibres don't absorb smells and dirt in quite the same way as acrylics.
