Fingerless Wool Gloves

Fingerless crochet wool gloves, the closest you can get to wearing clouds on your hands.

Story of the piece

Fingerless Wool Gloves

As close as you can get from wearing clouds in your hands. 

Cold hands, warm heart. That was something many of us heard growing up in Portugal and visiting our grandmother's house during the winter. It reminded us of the contradictions of life and the complexity of feelings. It reassured us that, despite everything, we were very much alive and had a chance to be kind in this world.

Made in Caldas da Rainha (Estremadura, Portugal), Alice Aranha's Fingerless Crochet Wool Gloves are made for those who are cold and warm at the same time. Just as wool is both chaos and form.

Because the gloves are fingerless, we are both in and out. And they are the closest we can get to wearing clouds on our hands.
