Skill Level - Beginner

This fingerless gloves crochet kit has been created for us by Vibeke at Diving Ducks. With over 70,000 subscribers, Diving Ducks Crochet has a strong following and proven pattern design.

The wrist warmer kit is supported, as all Diving Ducks Crochet videos are, by a How To Video as well as the printed pattern you receive with your kit.

The crochet hook, an optional extra, is 4.5mm and made from natural bamboo wood. They are wonderful to work with and hold.

The wrist warmers use lightweight DK alpaca yarn spun from the fleece of alpacas from UK farms. We love these fingerless gloves, partly because it looks so great, and also because it crochets up so quickly.

Size: One Size  Adult - adapt to fit any size

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • Standard 100g (225m) of Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
  • Optional - 4.5mm hook and a tapestry needle to sew in the ends
  • Pattern

As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit and crochet with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness.

What's so great about alpaca yarn? 

Alpaca yarn is highly valued for it's softness, warmth, and durability.

Let's compare it to sheep's wool

    • The fibres are much finer, and generally longer, than sheep’s wool, which makes them softer and less itchy
    • It contains no lanolin which makes it hypo-allergenic (and also makes it more sustainable as it can be processed at very low temperatures)
    • It also has a natural sheen that gives finished items a luxurious look
    • Both sheep and alpaca fleece is water-repellent, but alpaca also wicks away the moisture
Weight of Yarn #3, DK
Blend 75% alpaca 25% sheep
Size: 4/9Nm giving 225m (245 yards) per 100g
Ball Size 50g (112m)

Hand washing: Use lukewarm water and a specialist wool detergent. Hair conditioner in the final rinse will add extra softness. When washing and rinsing squeeze the garment rather than rubbing. Gently squeeze out excess water before rolling in a towel. Lay flat to dry.

Washing machines: Modern machines with delicate programme at 20C using a wool delicate detergent. Can be spun at 400 RPM.

Beautiful!

Thank you so much. I have received the crochet fingerless gloves kit. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait to start. The pattern looks really straightforward, and I really love the cotton project bag that came with it.

Excellent service. I was unsure the colour I had chosen matched the one in their photo. I used the text messaging service and had prompt and helpful replies. I have used Gorgeous Alpacas before the will is as they say gorgeous and their service excellent. I would recommend to my friends and family.

Super soft!

I love the softness of the wool and the sandstone colour. I am new to crochet and this is the third project I have done. I found the video extremely helpful as it clearly explained how to do the different stitches. I love the little kit bag provided which makes the project very portable. I had a problem with the paper pattern, but that was quickly resolved by Emma. She emailed me back within a couple of hours and then sent a lovely little gift as an apology! I would highly recommend Gorgeous Alpaca to fellow crafters, especially if they are just starting out on their crochet journey!

Wonderful soft wool

Delighted with my purchase, very soft next to the skin and non of the itching that can come with some wools

Exemplary customer service …. And great yarn!

This yarn is just wonderful, so soft and cosy. The pattern is straight forward and well written. The customer service is amazing, an email was all that was needed to divert my order to Kent, rather than New Zealand which I had entered in error. Altogether a very satisfactory experience which I shall happily repeat.
