Your Guide to Knitting Longer
The pain does not start where you feel it
It starts at one joint, at the base of your thumb, and resting will not fix it.
-
✓
Every stitch is a pinch. A plain row is 200 of them. A sweater is over 40,000.
-
✓
The joint at the base of your thumb takes the load, not your fingertips. It has been taking it for years.
-
✓
When it goes loose, your hand clamps down to hold it steady. That clamping is the ache you feel.
-
✓
Compression holds the joint from the outside, so your hand can stop doing it. The clamping stops. You keep knitting.
Support where the load is. Freedom everywhere else.
Firm at the thumb joint. Steady across the palm. Fingers open.
Knitters who were told to stop
"I had the injection in the base of my thumb last spring and it helped for maybe two months and then I was back to square one and they will only give you so many. Nobody offered me a third option in between doing nothing and surgery. I have been wearing these every evening for three weeks and I am getting proper rows done again. Not miracle stuff, I still know the thumb is there, but I finish what I start now."
"My daughter ordered these for me after my rheumatologist told me to give the knitting a rest. I did not tell him I ignored him. I finished the cardigan I started for her at Christmas, only about eight months late. Do not tell the doctor."
"I want to be honest as I read all the reviews before I bought and I nearly did not bother. I am 69 and I had convinced myself the knitting days were mostly behind me, I was doing maybe fifteen minutes and then my hand would tell me. First proper night with these I did an hour and did not think about it once. It was the not thinking about it that got me. I sat there afterwards feeling a bit daft for putting it off so long."
"Bought two pairs on the offer and I am glad I did, one is always in the wash. My tension used to go all over the place with the strappy ones catching the wool. No straps on these, nothing to catch. Gauge is back to normal."
"They fit lovely and the fingers being open is the whole thing for me, I was forever taking the other pair off to feel a stitch. These stay on. Warm too, my hands used to get cold by the window and seize up."
"Straight to the point, these work. Got them for my wife, she'd stopped bringing her knitting to our Sunday afternoons because her thumb played up. She brought it last week. First time in about a year. That's all I need to say."

If your hands hurt while you work

The Evenings Are Easier To Keep Than To Get Back.
I will not rush you. Nobody who has knitted for as long as you have wants to be rushed.
But I will be honest, the way I wish someone had been with me sooner. The joint softens a little more each season, and the rows get a little fewer, whether we are ready or not. The projects keep their own time, too. The grandchild arrives when she arrives.
None of this is to frighten you. It is only that the evenings are easier to keep than to get back.
Wear them. Work in them. Count your rows.
If you are not getting more knitting done than before, we refund you and you keep the gloves.

Before you decide
Will they get in the way while I am knitting?
No. The fingertips are open, so you can feel the yarn, split a stitch and pick one back. No velcro, no clasp, no slick palm. Nothing snags your work.
What if I order the wrong size?
We send you the right size free and you keep the first pair. You do not post anything back.
How will I know if they are working?
Count your rows, not your pain. Put them on the evening they arrive and knit until you want to stop, rather than until you have to. You will know inside one evening.
Are these for arthritis?
Yes, and for more than that. They are for hands that are being asked to keep working, whether a doctor has given you a name for it or not. Basal thumb arthritis, CMC pain, De Quervain's, tendonitis, or simply a thumb that starts to ache by nine o'clock.
Will they help with crochet, spinning or quilting?
Yes. Any craft that pinches loads the same joint.
How do I wash them?
Cold wash, dry flat. This is why you want the second pair. One on your hands, one in the wash.
I have had a cortisone injection, or surgery.
Ask your doctor first. These are a glove, not a treatment.
When will they arrive?
We process orders within 24-72 hours and deliver them within 6-10 days depending on your location, with tracked shipment included for your convenience.
