Fair Trade Ethical Children's Woollen Gloves

Fair Trade Ethical colourful striped fingerless Gloves with a Cap that turns them into mittens. Beautifully hand knitted with pure wool. There is nothing worse than having cold hands on cold a winters day, let alone your child's cold hands using you as their personal heater. Get them a pair of our pure wool fingerless Gloves with Cap that provide optimal warmth and comfort, unlike any Gloves they've had before. With the Cap unbuttoned they can use their fingers freely for most activities.  With the Cap buttoned over the fingers, there is optimal warmth for their hands. These Fair Trade Winter Gloves are a great ethical and practical gift idea

These Gloves are loving made by Artisans in Nepal who spin and dye raw wool from New Zealand using azo-free dyes. They had knit the Gloves using bright and varied colours, making each pair of Gloves totally unique. The whole process is sustainable and eco-friendly as Uplift Fair Trade have chosen to use the leftover pieces of wool that would otherwise be thrown out.
