The weather here in the Lower Mainland has been fantastic. Apologies to those of you still suffering through winter. Crocus have come and gone, our tulips are pushing their way up toward the sun, and robins are hopping around everywhere. Yes, spring is making its way here.
That means when I go for my walk each day what I wear has been adjusted for this positive change. It has been in the 50 degrees F range, aka 10 C meaning it is warm enough to not require winter wear, but my fingers still need to be protected. My
Light as Air possum yarn gloves have been put into action. Here's a few things I can report after using them.
- I have long arms so my entire life I've struggled to find sweaters, coats, and long-sleeved shirts long enough to keep my wrists warm. Thus to compensate I need gloves longer than usual. The Light as Air gloves, without any alternations, fill that bill. They easily fit over shirts and tuck neatly into a sweatshirt sleeve.
- These gloves are extremely light weight. It is as if you have nothing on your hands at all. In the moderate temperatures we're having right now that is a perfect characteristic.
- Although loosely knit (due to my tension) and light weight, these gloves are warm. Today, the sun is out, but there is a slight breeze. In the shade it is brisk but my hands stayed happily warm. This characteristic, of course, is one that is expected from this type of yarn.
If you haven't figured it out yet, let me come right out with it, I love these gloves.
