    Sarah Hunter’s Gloves

    Apr 30, 2020 5 minutes

    THIS GLOVE pattern is a replica of a pair made in around 1850 by a Dales knitter, Sarah Hunter, whose story Penelope Hemingway explores on page 66. “Traditionally, Dales gloves had a white or cream background and a dark natural colour for the pattern,” says Penelope. “Sarah Hunter’s pair were knitted in red and black.” Our sample uses red and cream shades of Jamieson & Smith’s Shetland Heritage wool.
