I’ve been wearing the same pair of Newberry Knitting Lined Wool Gloves for about three years now, and have only good things to say about ‘em. They’re warm (wool / nylon ragg on the outside), they’re comfortable (kitten-soft polymide boucle on the inside), they’re functional (tactile deerskin on the palm), they’re well made (handcrafted in upstate New York), and, they’re affordable ($25 per plus shipping). Almost makes we wish my first pair would hurry up and wear out, so I could pick up a second. Almost.
For price and purchase info, visit Buckshot Sonny’s.

Those look great.I might have to try out a pair.
Do you know where to find the ones in the picture you posted? Looked around on Buckshot Sonny’s and the Newberry site and couldn’t find any that looked exactly the same.
These are them:

But they’re sold out.
On the Newberry site, they’re here:

And the color is “traditional grey.”
Anyone know how the raccoon blend feels like it? Is it really as they say, second to cashmere? Or would I be better off getting the wool/nylon.
Thanks
just spoke to folks at Newberry…their site is down for online shopping but I called the number on the site and spoke to a very sweet customer rep.
Also, she explained that the raccoon blend is a higher quality yarn, but lacks a lining, so is slightly less warm. I went with the ragg wool.
thanks, WS!
Thanks for the intel Ari!
Thank you Ari for the info!
