I visited Loopy, the wool shop in Ulverston and picked up two balls of Debbie Bliss Rialto DK Print wool in the reduced basket, £3.00 each, I couldn't resist. I have never crocheted using multi coloured wool before. I do know that if you crochet for example a pair of socks you must always start each sock with the same colour so they match. However, I wasn't particularly bothered if my gloves matched or not, I just wanted to see if I could crochet one pair of gloves using one ball of 50g wool, which I did, although it was a close call as I did make the cuff a little longer 15 stitches instead of 10 and also made the thumb a little bit longer as well by about three rows.
I loved crocheting with this wool, it's extra fine merino and feels so soft compared with crocheting acrylic which always leaves my fingers feeling a little bit sore afterwards, although that could be the fact I do not like leaving things half finished and push myself to the end :)
The pattern I used is the same pattern as the mustard coloured fingerless gloves in one of my previous posts.
