Hello friends! Tell me I'm not the only one with slight Cruella Deville intentions when seeing a flooffy dog... So that is why in this video we will attempt knit a pair of Victorian or Edwardian gloves with the lace weight chiengora yarn we made earlier. You may or may not have noticed that my personal style is greatly influenced by historical and vintage fashion. You can find that video when following this link: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/Ih7qY4-kvG8 Chiengora, or dog wool, is said to be up to 80% warmer than sheep's wool. So gloves are the ideal project to keep my extremities warm this coming winter. We will knit these lady's gloves as per original and historic instructions of the victorian or edwardian period. I found the "Second book of 'Hows': or what may be done with wools in every home" on the internet archive. (For those of you who want to knit your own historic reconstruction garments, here's a link: https://archive.org/details/krl00402941 ). This knitting and crochet manual was published in 1902, making it technically edwardian. But as the gloves pattern refers to an earlier one, published in 1900 I will call them victorian. In any case, join me on this project where we attempt to knit a turn of the century pair of gloves with dog wool! Some people say dog yarns smell like wet dog, but it is the dog that makes a dog smell like wet dog, not its fur. So when processed into yarn, it does not smell. Or that is at least my experience with it. Is there any historic reference to victorians and edwardians knitting their gloves or other knitwear with dog wool? Well, no. But there are also no references that they didn't. So maybe this project isn't entirely historically accurate, but it is at least historically possible!
