#261: Finely Knitted Estonian Gloves in Räpina Old Võro Style with Swirly Pattern in Turquoise Yellow Natural White with Daisies

Knitted with three colored yarn in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. The pattern is an ancient Estonian pattern depicting Cat Paw or 8-pointed Star. It comes from Räpina area in historic Old Võro region, nowadays in Põlva County, ESTONIA. It is called a Swirly Pattern.

Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and DK weight yarn. The turquoise and yellow yarns are hand dyed, 100% wool from Estonia. The off-white is natural sheep color. They are perfect to block wind and wear in winter. Beautiful cabled ribbing is very elegant, like a bracelet around your wrist.

The gloves are colorworked all the way to the fingertips, which makes them warmer than average thin one-leyer gloves. The yarn being rather thin makes them very comfortable to wear and they fit like a second skin.

Women’s size, approximately 8.
