These gloves are hand knit with a simple lace pattern for elegance. Each pair measures about 12" in length, and are made with a lovely wool yarn. I have added a touch of lace on the arm, with 2 pearl buttons on each side. If you have an allergy to wool and would rather have the gloves knit with an acrylic yarn or a blend, please let me know. Yarn Choices: Alpaca, Wool. or acrylic.
