These gloves were originally hand knitted by me from my own pattern whilst listening all the while to my Fidelity old record player. These Union Jack gloves are a homage to The Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten and God Save the Queen (the record).

Recommended Yarn:
Blissful, 100% superwash BFL (Blue Faced Leicester) 4-ply sock
The yarn is hand dyed by Skein Queen in the UK.http://skeinqueen.co.uk.
The hand dyed yarn will have variations but we love that for our complete glove anarchy.
