Rainbow and grey alpaca wool gloves. Choose kids size or adult size. Detailed sizing in description below.
These are perfect in winter, the combination of 50% gray alpaca for warmth and 50% wool for durability and color.
My handmade kids’ gloves are loved by my customers because:
They are fun and colorful.
The fit is adapted to child hands (slightly different shape than adult hands).
Kids tend to keep them on.
Wool and alpaca is warm even when wet from snow.
Wool and alpaca is a natural resource and no animals are harmed during production.
All gloves are knit by hand in a small manufacture in Romania, EU.
All sizes made to order.
Please choose kids' size based on palm length (measured from wrist to the tip of the middle finger), not only age.
--------------------------
COLORS
Knit exclusively by hand from one strand of rainbow wool and one strand of gray alpaca yarn held together.
The gloves are a little fluffy due to the alpaca yarn.
The stripes on the palms are never identical. Fingers will be knit exactly like the pictures unless otherwise specified in message. At this point I did two possible combinations of colors. You can choose A, B or a mismatched pair where all fingers are different. Feel free to suggest other combinations of colors for the fingers.

I have my two sons as models and I base my items measurements on them.
If you are not sure what size to order, please measure your child's wrist around and the length of the palm and send me these measurements. I will make the gloves fit for your sizing.
Please note that hands come in different shapes and sizes. In order to make them fit perfectly I need details, so if you know that commercial gloves usually have too short or too long fingers for you, if you like your gloves a little loose or more fitted, please provide this information.

CARE
Handwash, cold recommended.
Reshape after washing and lay flat to dry.
