Dedicated to all the hands battling on the Covid-19 front lines that continue to reach out and bring healing despite the risks. Thank you!

As an Admiral butterfly lights upon the trickling waterfall in a garden fountain, Milady Admiral fingerless gloves elegantly portray the scene. Soft as a butterfly’s fluttering wings, Milady Admiral graces hands with loving stitches. Admiral butterflies sparkle upon your wrist while the added sheen of glass beads is certain to brighten any day. Drop stitches invite all butterflies to take flight. This gentle touch of the butterfly’s wings warms your heart. With Admiral’s kisses, enjoy these stitches.
