Angora Wrist Warmers


My friend Lisa (who always finds the coolest websites) sent me a link to Joybilee Farms because she saw a felted hat that she wanted to share. While there I discovered an article written by the author about the therapeutic benefits of wearing angora wool. One such benefit is that angora wearables provide increased warmth for those who have arthritis pain. My mom and I both have issues with our hand so I decided to make some wrist warmers for us to try. I used 100% Satin angora-2 ply handspun yarn and knit on double point needles. I casted on 25 stitches and knitted around until I had them to the desired length.
