Note about Viscose Yarn

rI eally have to add a special note to these Orange Teal handmade crafted crocheted gloves. I used Viscose yarn for these gloves but was not sure how it would turn out as the yarn does not have the stretch of woolen yarn. However this yarn took me by surprise – and very pleasantly so.

This yarn is more expensive and is one of my Favourite-est yarn; I just love viscose. Viscose is a man-made yet natural yarn (made from pulp and cellulose). It has the drape and silkiness of silk and can breathe, just like natural cotton. It is a perfect combination of the best of both worlds – and I love working with it.

And in the use of this viscose yarn for these fingerless gloves, it has proven that it is almost more perfect than wool. Despite the yarn being less stretchy than wool, yet when it is made up, the gloves seem to hug the hands themselves. Perfect! So in effect, the whole material stretches while being put on and then it reforms to hug the hands, increasing the level of delicious comfort and fit. Still one of my very favourite yarn!
