#263: Finely Knitted Estonian Lady’s Gloves in Paistu Style Mulgi Region in Green White Red Strawberry Bloom Pattern

Knitted with three color yarn in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. This pattern comes from Paistu area in historic Mulgi Region, nowadays VIljandi County, Estonia. It is called a Strawberry Bloom Pattern.

Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and DK weight yarn. The green and red 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 lacy ribbing is very elegant, like a bracelet around your wrist.

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

Women’s size, approximately 7.5-8.
