Citation from the book:
“These gloves from Unst show a highly creative pattern in a traditional style. Although this pair is sized for a woman’s hands, such gloves used to be made only for men working on fishing boats. The extra-long fingers were fashioned so that the men’s fingertips were free to remove fishhooks.”
