A beautiful pair of gloves hand knitted in finest quality pure alpaca wool which are exceptionally warm and soft. These practical gloves feature a beautiful cable pattern and are perfect for keeping warm whilst using your phone or even tapping away at your laptop in a cold studio! Fumble around for your keys and your money without the hassle of having to take off your gloves! These gloves are unisex and suitable for teenagers as well as adults.

Alpaca is four times warmer than lambswool and it doesn't pill (bobble).

"Won't the ends of my fingers get cold?!", I hear you cry! Well, actually with the rest of your hand and wrist lovely and toasty, your fingers will actually stay much warmer too. On really freezing cold, icy days, if you're staying outside for a long time, you will want full fingered gloves, I agree! But the rest of the time these are perfect! They are also great for commuting, so in and out of warmer and colder environments, and need to use your hands. Or maybe you are a photographer and you work outside but need your fingers free? These gloves will be your best friends!

You won't need to wash them too often as the properties of the natural fibre repel dirt and moisture. When you do wash them, hand wash in warmish (about 30 degrees) water with delicate detergent or shampoo and they will wash brilliantly and stay like new. Do not tumble dry, just lie flat to dry.

These will quickly become your favourite gloves to pull on when it's chilly outside! Treat yourself to a touch of luxury for the cold winter months.

Our gloves are all washed and pressed so they will reach you in perfect condition.

One size. They are slightly stretchy.

Mamacha produces luxury alpaca knitwear for men and women designed in England and lovingly hand made by expert knitters in Peru. In 2008 we began working with a women's co-operative on the outskirts of Lima with the aim of providing employment for struggling families. We discovered some fantastic knitters with incredible skills, who needed a little help designing and marketing knitwear, and that is how our story began. You can enjoy your purchase in the knowledge you have made a positive difference.

Your purchase will have a tag featuring the name of the knitter and an outline of our work in Peru, bringing you a little closer to the maker of your new purchase!

All of our 100% alpaca products are made using top quality, truly luxurious alpaca fibre which we source from the highly regarded Peruvian manufacturer 'Michell'. It is known for its softness, superior warmth, lightweightedness and durability - it will last much longer than synthetic fibres.

We have some gorgeous hats, snoods, shawls, gloves, socks, slippers, legwarmers, as well as jumpers and ponchos. We'd love you to take a look around our shop!
