These are short fingerless mittens knit from 100% alpaca fiber, made by women artisans in Bolivia under fair trade terms. The open fingertips leave you free to type, text, write or grip a mug while the palm and wrist stay warm. Alpaca is softer and less itchy than sheep's wool and is naturally hypoallergenic, which is the main draw over ordinary knit mittens. They suit desk work, chilly rooms and light outdoor wear rather than deep cold or wet weather.
