{"product_id":"cashmere-knit-gloves","title":"Cashmere Gloves in Flat Jersey Knit, Wrist Length","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese cashmere gloves are the plain, beautifully soft pair that ends up living in your coat pocket from November to March. They are knit in a smooth flat jersey, 8 inches long so they finish right at the wrist bone, in three shades from deep neutral to soft pink. Portolano lists the yarn as 100% cashmere in a two-ply knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth jersey face.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same flat stitch as a fine sweater, with no texture to snag on a coat pocket or a zipper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrist length.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 8 inches, about 20 cm, the cuff ends where a coat sleeve begins, so nothing bunches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree easy colors.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, deep chocolate brown, or the muted pink Portolano calls dusty rose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne size.\u003c\/strong\u003e It comes in one size, which Portolano says fits most hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThin Warm Gloves in Cashmere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want thin warm gloves that still let you find your keys and zip a coat, cashmere is the fiber to look at. Under US labeling rules, fiber sold as cashmere has to average 19 microns across or less, finer than most sheep wool, and those fine, crimped fibers \u003cstrong\u003etrap a lot of still air for very little thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is where the warmth comes from: not bulk, but air that cannot move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat jersey knit adds to it. A smooth face lets wind slide past instead of pushing through open stitches, and the narrow ribbed cuff closes the glove at the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlack, Chocolate Brown or Dusty Rose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack is the safe choice and the one that hides wear best. Chocolate brown is the more interesting neutral; it looks richer than black against camel, cream and olive, and it is kinder to a gray coat. \u003cstrong\u003eDusty rose is the color that makes a dark winter coat look chosen\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially navy, charcoal or black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping Cashmere Gloves Soft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortolano recommends dry cleaning. In between, let the gloves dry flat if they get damp in snow, away from a radiator, since direct heat can shrink and stiffen the fiber. Brush away pills on the palm with a cashmere comb, and keep the pair folded together so one glove never goes missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEveryday Cashmere Gloves Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre cashmere gloves warm?\u003c\/strong\u003e For their thickness, warmer than almost anything else you can knit. For hours outdoors well below freezing, wear them under a lined shell mitten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo knit gloves stretch?\u003c\/strong\u003e A little. Knit relaxes as it warms to your hands, so a pair that feels snug at the first try settles into a close, easy fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these work on a phone screen?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not this pair. Plain cashmere fingertips do not register on a touchscreen, so you will need to slip a fingertip out to answer a call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they go under leather gloves?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if the leather pair runs generous. Thin cashmere is a classic liner, and the two layers together beat either one alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portolano","offers":[{"title":"BLACK","offer_id":67639717232941,"sku":"58222GC-BLK-ONE SIZE","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CHOCOLATE BROWN","offer_id":67639738794285,"sku":"58222GC-Z99-ONE SIZE","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DUSTY ROSE","offer_id":67639738827053,"sku":"58222GC-DUR-ONE SIZE","price":156.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/portolano-cashmere-knit-gloves-1.jpg?v=1791916508","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/cashmere-knit-gloves","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
