{"product_id":"wrist-warmers-gray-baby-alpaca-blend","title":"Wrist Warmers in Gray Baby Alpaca Blend with a Thumb Slit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese wrist warmers are fingerless gloves in a soft heather gray, 8.5 inches long with a 2 inch slit for the thumb, so they cover the back of the hand, the wrist and a good stretch of forearm. They are Allpa's Essential Knit: a plain, smooth body with a rolled edge across the knuckles and a ribbed band at the arm end. Allpa gives the yarn as 70% baby alpaca, 23% polyamide and 7% wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForearm coverage.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 8.5 inches the warmer runs well up the arm, past the point where a sweater sleeve rides back when you reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRibbed arm band.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rib grips the forearm and keeps the warmer from sliding down toward the fingers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeather gray.\u003c\/strong\u003e A flecked mid gray that looks at home beside black, navy, camel or blue jeans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom for typing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The slit sits low, so the thumb reaches the space bar without bunching the knit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWrist Warmers or Fingerless Gloves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrist warmers and fingerless gloves are two names for close cousins, and this pair sits right between them. A fingerless glove usually has a shaped thumb and separate finger openings; a wrist warmer is a tube with a hole or slit for the thumb. \u003cstrong\u003eThe simple tube is what makes this style so easy to fit, because there is no thumb length or finger spacing to match to your hand.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pull it on, settle the slit at the base of the thumb and the rolled edge falls across the knuckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Warm Layer for Cold Rooms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese come into their own indoors. A drafty home office, a cold kitchen first thing, an evening on the porch with a book: warm wrists make the whole hand feel warmer while your fingertips handle a keyboard, a pen or a page. \u003cstrong\u003eKeep a pair by the desk and you will reach for it long after the coat goes back in the closet.\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoors they slide under a coat sleeve, and the gray blend gives a little stretch so the cuff stays smooth instead of bunching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGray Alpaca Blend Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllpa's care line is short: cold water, a mild detergent, a gentle reshape while damp and a flat dry. Wash the pair together so they keep an identical shade, press them inside a rolled towel instead of wringing, and lay them straight with the ribbed band smoothed. A drying rack or a bed of towels works; a radiator does not, since direct heat can tighten the fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeather Gray Wrist Warmers in Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre wrist warmers the same as arm warmers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Arm warmers usually run well past the elbow. At 8.5 inches these stop on the forearm, so they fit under a fitted sleeve where arm warmers would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I hold a phone comfortably in them?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The fingertips and the top of the thumb are bare, so a touchscreen responds normally, and the knit at the palm gives a soft grip on the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they work with short sleeves?\u003c\/strong\u003e They do, and that is a fun way to wear them indoors over a fitted tee, where the gray reads as a deliberate layer rather than winter gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Allpa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67646979506477,"sku":"230016","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/allpa-wrist-warmers-gray-baby-alpaca-blend-1.jpg?v=1792003790","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/wrist-warmers-gray-baby-alpaca-blend","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
