These crochet gloves are each handmade by skilled artisans in Lima, Peru, using 100% alpaca. In addition to being very warm (of course, they're made of alpaca) and soft, they are very durable. I noticed that knitted gloves would often wear holes in the fingertips after a season or two. This is a shame because alpaca garments last for many years and still retain a new appearance. We started making these crocheted gloves a couple of years ago with a group of artisans in Lima. They first caught my eye because the stitches are small and dense- good properties for keeping out the wind. When the first batch arrived, Ezra nabbed a pair for "product testing"- that's how she justifies it- and even after a year of hard wear (she rides her bike to work) they show no holes, pills or thin spots. We make size M and L. The price is $45. Assorted solids and stripes.
