Men's knitted fingerless gloves This brutal grey

Fingerless gloves are known for ages. For some time they weren't very popular. Nowdays their necessity is motivated by the reality and modern human needs. Many buttons surround us and we have to press them. Fingers should be free and hands be protected from cold and wind. That's how fingerless gloves appeared.

The yarn of these men's fingerless gloves is a mix of two different kinds of dog underfur: light-gray (Keeshond) and black (Newfoundland dog), whose mixture gives silver-gray colour. But the key element of the yarn is that underfur of these dogs has long hair which is almost not fluffy. It is important for knitting men's fingerless gloves, mittens, socks etc., as for these works fluffiness is rather a disadvantage than a plus side. For more softness goat underfur with long hair is added. This work is may be said for those men who appreciate not only aesthetic appearance, but also comfort, softness, naturality of a knitted work and its warmness.

The fingerless gloves are knitted with 'prominent tail' pattern. It has some advantages. Firstly, it looks great. 'Tail' pattern will adorn every work if yarn is straight, not thick, and a work is knitted closely. But there is another advantage - 'tail' pattern implies combination of front and back side mashes which creates ribbing effect. It's one of the best choices for fingerless gloves, mittens, gaiters, knee socks and other tight-fitting works. A hand can be narrow and wide of the same size. This means fingerless gloves knitted with 'prominent tail' pattern will fit for both variants. This point is of no small importance for any knitted work.

The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
