100% alpaca fingerless mitts, 'Sierra Charcoal'





By Deborah, Owner of Helping Hearts Heal, LLC
A Gift for My 16-year-old Daughter
This 100% Alpaca knit fingerless gloves Sierra Charcoal are soft, warm, not scratchy, very well made, have a thickness to them but not bulky. It is as pictured in the website photo except a bit brighter regarding the color tones. However, the colors are subtle and blend well. The colors and pattern yield to a look of sophistication. My daughter was delighted when her gift arrived and she opened the package. It is advantageous to be able to text on ones phone while still wearing gloves, warming the rest of your hands. I also purchased the matching scarf that does match the gloves exactly. A great, winter accessory combo! I am grateful for the opportunity to purchase high quality, creative items from artisans all over the world!

100% alpaca gloves, 'Winter Delight in Black'





By CrisP
Wonderful gloves!
You just cant believe how soft these gloves are! I bought a pair for myself as well as for a gift for my sister when I saw them on the website, and am I ever glad I did. I wouldve kicked myself for not doing so after seeing them. They are warm without being bulky, and as I said, they feel so nice! The price was very reasonable too, considering they were make with 100% alpaca wool. I love them!
