Knit or crochet fingerless gloves are the most colorful with a wide range of patterns and designs. They also provide good warmth and are very comfortable to wear. Many different types of wool can be used and the knitting or crocheting can produce many unique and creative designs. Let's take a look at the different kinds of wool that can be used for fingerless knit gloves.
Cashmere is a favorite kind of wool although it's usually just referred to as cashmere. The majority of this wool comes from Mongolia and is taken from the Cashmere Goat. Cashmere is characterized by its soft fibers. It provides excellent warmth and insulation without being bulky like other wools. Cashmere fingerless gloves are lightweight, soft and very warm.
Angora wool refers to the outer fur coat of the Angora rabbit. Angora is known for its softness and silky texture.
Its often used in sweaters and as yarn for knitting. Angora wool is popular with craft persons who like to make their own fingerless wool gloves.
Merino is another type of wool from Merino sheep. It is one of the softest wools due to its fine fibers. It very popular in athletic clothing as the wool wicks moisture away from the body keeping the wearer cool even during strenuous activity. Merino wool fingerless gloves are perfectly suited to the active lifestyle.
Fleece is a synthetic wool made from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Its a light and strong fabric meant to replace some wools. Fleece pullovers have become very popular due to their soft, lightweight feel and warmth. It makes excellent fingerless gloves that are soft and warm. Fleece can also be a vegan alternative to wool.
Review of Women's Camel Coats
Fall 2010 is the season of the coat, in particular the season of the camel coat. The AW10 catwalks dripped with outer garments in camel, tan, taupe, caramel and oyster cream tones (see right).
Jacket choice is also good with camel again being touted as the top tone. As with coats, the vast range of colours displayed on the catwalks showed diversity within the colour range from clotted buttery cream to dusty desert sand.
The range of material for women's coats was also large, for example, we see knitwear, wool Melton, tweed, silk, felt, leather, suede, Shearling and leopard prints all get the camel colouration.
Camel can be an expensive look, but choose your winter coat thoughtfully. For some women a careful appraisal of the exact tone of this neutral beige is important, especially if a yellow-based camel makes your skin look flat and tired or worse jaundiced.
Some magazines will try to convince you that camel flatters everyone, but it doesn't. The tone has to match an individual's skin tone; otherwise, camel clothing can be death by dullness. Just make sure you get the perfect shade just as you would when selecting a foundation face base. Take your time to get the camel colour that lifts your persona rather than destroys it by drab insipidness.
