These were knitted in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran from a pattern in the latest edition of knitty.com – “Fetching”. They are brilliant – the wool is wonderfully soft and a pair of gloves takes only one ball and knits up in a couple of hours. What could be more satisfying! Perfect for keeping wrists and hands warm and fingers free for…..well, knitting another pair perhaps?
This colour is shade 617 and is a lovely plummy shade. I love this wool as it comes in a huge variety of really lovely warm, autumn colours and is easy to knit and beautiful to wear.

Cashmerion Aran is 55% merino wool, 33% microfibre, 12% cashmere and knits on 5mm needles. These gloves are knit on 4mm needles however and so are a very solid fabric to keep out the chill.

I think I’ll be knitting a lot more of these before the winter is out.
