These gloves were originally hand knitted by Alabama Whirly from her own pattern whilst listening all the while to her 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:
The yarn is hand dyed by Skein Queen, Desire, DK / 8 ply (11 wpi) 100% merino, DK weight yarn, dyed in the UK, machine wash on cool cycle

The hand dyed yarn will have variations but we love that for our complete glove anarchy.
