It’s a wrap: practical clothing for cold winters

Knitted gloves aren’t practical for gardening, but for a quick foray outside to gather Christmas greenery, a snug pair of fingerless gloves will keep hands warm. Try WoolOvers for a good range of woollen gloves – with and without fingers – and wrist warmers. For gardening, Niwaki’s winter gloves come recommended, as do the Warm ’n’ Waterproof Clip Gloves, which have a fleecy lining and latex outer to keep hands warm and dry in cold weather.
