#262: Finely Hand Knitted Estonian Lady’s Gloves in Leppoja Style in Pink and Natural Brown Wallpaper Pattern

Knitted with two color yarn in traditional Estonian fair-isle style. This pattern comes from Leppoja Farm, Männisalu Village in Räpina area in Old Võro County, Estonia. It reminds me an oldwallpaper pattern from a manor house walls.

Tightly knitted using 0-size needles and DK weight yarn. The pink yarn is hand dyed, 100% wool from Estonia. The dark brown is a natural sheep color, wool comes fromKihnu Island. 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.
