Long Cable Fingerless Gloves – Wrist Warmers

These long cable fingerless gloves are made for hands that need warmth without losing movement. The 28cm length gives generous coverage over the wrist and lower arm, making them a practical layer for colder days, studio work, market mornings, dog walks and everyday errands.

The fingerless shape keeps the fingertips free for keys, phones, writing or working, while the knitted cable texture brings a classic Ochre character to a small but hardworking accessory. They feel considered rather than bulky, with enough softness to wear for long stretches and enough length to sit comfortably beneath a coat sleeve.

Knitted in a cashmere and lambswool blend, these cable knit fingerless gloves offer cosy warmth with a naturally soft handle. They are simple, useful and quietly elegant: the kind of winter hand warmers that become part of your daily routine as soon as the temperature drops.

Why These Long Cable Fingerless Gloves Work So Well

  • 28cm length helps cover the wrist and lower arm
  • Fingerless shape keeps hands warm while leaving fingertips free
  • Cable texture adds detail without making the gloves feel bulky
  • Soft cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth with a gentle handle
  • One size design makes them easy to gift
  • Ideal as knitted wrist warmers for indoor and outdoor use
  • Practical for typing, driving, browsing, dog walking and market days
  • A useful luxury knit accessory for colder months

The cable knit pattern gives these long cable fingerless gloves a tactile surface that feels traditional, cosy and beautifully suited to winter dressing. The length is the detail that makes them especially useful: at 28cm, they extend beyond the hand to warm the wrist and lower arm, helping to close the chilly gap that can sit between a sleeve and a glove.

Because the fingertips remain open, the gloves are easy to wear during the parts of the day when normal gloves can feel inconvenient. They bring warmth where it is most needed while allowing your hands to stay active.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives these fingerless gloves their soft, warm character. Lambswool brings natural insulation and resilience, while cashmere adds a smoother, more luxurious feel against the skin.

The result is a pair of cable knit fingerless gloves that feels light enough for everyday wear but still comforting when the weather turns cold. They are breathable, tactile and easy to reach for again and again.

Wear them with a coat, a chunky jumper or a simple long-sleeved top whenever you want extra warmth without covering the fingertips. The long wrist warmer shape works especially well under wider sleeves, cropped sleeves or relaxed knitwear, adding a quiet layer of comfort without changing the whole outfit.

They are also useful indoors: for writing at a desk, working in a cool studio, reading, travelling, or simply keeping hands warm while still being able to move freely.

Small accessories often become the pieces that make winter dressing easier. These knitted hand warmers are compact enough to keep in a bag, soft enough to wear for hours and practical enough to solve the everyday problem of cold hands without losing dexterity.

The cable detail gives them a crafted look, while the clean fingerless shape keeps them simple and timeless. They make a thoughtful gift, but they are just as easy to justify as a useful treat for yourself.

To keep your long cable fingerless gloves soft and beautifully shaped, wash them gently by hand in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing the knit, as this can disturb the cable texture and stretch the shape.

After washing, press out excess water in a towel and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded when not in use, and refresh carefully with a cashmere comb if light bobbling appears over time.

How long are these fingerless gloves?

They are 28cm long, giving generous coverage over the wrist and lower arm.

Are these gloves suitable for using a phone?

Yes. The fingerless design keeps your fingertips free, making them practical for phones, keys, writing and everyday tasks.

What makes them warmer than short wrist warmers?

The longer 28cm shape helps cover more of the wrist and lower arm, which is often where cold air enters between sleeves and gloves.

Are they a good gift?

Yes. The one size design, soft cashmere and lambswool blend, and practical fingerless shape make them an easy luxury knit accessory to give.

How should I store them?

Fold them flat in a drawer or knitwear bag, away from direct sunlight and moths, so the cable knit keeps its shape between wears.

Why These Socks With Stripe Work So Well

  • Soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend
  • Ribbed texture gives comfortable hold without feeling restrictive
  • Double cuff stripe adds a classic, understated detail
  • One size design with natural stretch
  • Breathable warmth for boots, trainers, slippers and relaxed home wear
  • Comfortable enough for long days, travel and working from home
  • Easy to gift because the shape is simple, useful and wearable
  • A luxury knit accessory made for regular use rather than saving for best

The rib structure is what gives these socks with stripe their easy, close feel. It allows the knit to flex as you move, then settle back into shape, so the socks feel supportive without the stiffness of a heavy walking sock.

The double stripe sits neatly at the cuff, giving the pair a subtle athletic note while keeping the overall look clean and timeless. It is a small detail, but it gives the socks enough character to feel special when they show above boots or trainers.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives these striped socks their soft handle and natural warmth. Cashmere brings a smoother, more luxurious feel, while lambswool adds body, insulation and resilience for regular wear.

Together, the fibres create socks that feel cosy without being bulky. They are warm enough for chilly mornings, breathable enough for indoor wear and soft enough to reach for again the next day.

Wear them as boot socks when you want a comfortable ribbed layer at the ankle, or pair them with trainers when the cuff stripe can show as part of the outfit. They also work beautifully as lounge socks, especially on cooler evenings when bare feet feel too exposed but thick slippers feel too much.

The simple shape makes them useful across seasons. Keep a pair by the door for quick errands, pack them for weekend travel, or wear them at home when you want warmth that still feels refined.

Good socks are often the pieces you notice most when the temperature drops. These knitted socks are soft enough for quiet days at home, practical enough for daily wear and smart enough to give as a thoughtful gift.

The striped cuff gives them a clear identity without making them difficult to style. They sit comfortably between luxury accessory and everyday essential, which is exactly why they become so easy to wear.

To keep your socks with stripe soft and neatly shaped, wash gently by hand in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing the knit, as this can disturb the rib texture and stretch the shape.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded rather than pulled or stretched, and refresh carefully with a cashmere comb if light bobbling appears with wear.

What are these socks made from?

They are knitted from a soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving warmth, softness and natural breathability.

Are these socks one size?

Yes. They are made as one size with natural stretch for an easy, comfortable fit.

What makes the rib knit useful?

The ribbed construction helps the sock hold gently around the foot and ankle while still allowing comfortable movement.

Can I wear them with boots?

Yes. The ribbed shape and cosy knitted feel make them ideal as boot socks, but they also work with trainers or as relaxed lounge socks.

Are they suitable as a gift?

Yes. Their one-size stretch, soft cashmere blend and practical striped design make them an easy luxury knit gift.

How should I care for them?

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, reshape gently and dry flat away from direct heat.

Bontie Bandana Scarf – Soft Neck Scarf

This bandana scarf is a small piece with a beautifully considered finish: soft at the neck, light to wear and shaped to tie without adding unnecessary bulk. Knitted in a cashmere and lambswool blend, Bontie brings warmth, texture and polish to everyday layering.

The shape is designed with tapered pointed ends, so it can be knotted neatly, looped loosely or tucked under a coat collar with ease. A fine contrast stripe border frames the edges and gives the scarf a clean, graphic line while keeping the overall look refined.

At 125cm long, it has enough length to style in several ways while staying compact and elegant. Wear it as a knitted neck scarf over a simple jumper, tie it close as a soft neckerchief, or let the pointed ends fall naturally for a relaxed but finished look.

Why This Bandana Scarf Feels So Useful

  • Soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend
  • Compact bandana shape that adds warmth without weight
  • Tapered pointed ends make tying simple and elegant
  • Fine stripe border gives a clean, distinctive finish
  • Comfortable enough for indoor wear and useful under outerwear
  • Works as a neck scarf, light wrap or polished finishing piece
  • Easy to style with knitwear, shirts, jackets and coats
  • A refined cashmere mix accessory made for regular wear

The charm of this bandana scarf is in its balance of softness and structure. The pointed ends help the knot sit neatly, while the fine stripe border frames the shape and gives the scarf a precise, thoughtful edge.

Because the design is narrow and shaped, it does not overwhelm the neckline. It brings a finished feel to simple outfits and adds a little movement without the volume of a long winter scarf.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives Bontie a gentle handle with natural warmth. Cashmere softens the feel against the skin, while lambswool adds body, resilience and light insulation.

The result is a knitted scarf that feels cosy but not heavy. It is easy to keep on indoors, comfortable under a coat and smooth enough to wear close to the neck.

Tie it once at the front for a clean neckerchief look, knot it slightly to the side for a softer line, or tuck it under a blazer or coat so only the pointed ends and border detail show.

It also works beautifully with a crew neck jumper or simple cardigan, adding a considered finishing touch without making the outfit feel dressed up.

A soft cashmere mix bandana scarf with tapered pointed ends and a fine stripe border, designed to knot neatly at the neck for lightweight warmth and effortless everyday styling.

To keep your bandana scarf soft and neatly shaped, wash gently by hand in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing, as this can disturb the knitted structure and pointed edges.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded rather than hung, and refresh lightly with a cashmere comb if small bobbles appear with wear.

What is this bandana scarf made from?

It is knitted from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, combining gentle warmth with natural resilience.

How long is the scarf?

The scarf measures approximately 125cm, giving enough length to knot, loop or tuck neatly.

Is it bulky around the neck?

No. The bandana shape is designed to sit lightly, giving warmth and detail without the volume of a large scarf.

How can I wear it?

Wear it tied close to the neck, softly knotted to one side, tucked into a coat collar or draped over knitwear as a finishing accessory.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes. Its one-size shape, soft cashmere mix texture and easy styling make it a thoughtful luxury knitwear gift.

Why This Cashmere Shawl Feels So Versatile

  • Pure cashmere shawl with a soft, elegant drape
  • Generous 90 x 200cm size offers more coverage than a standard scarf
  • Fringed edges give the piece a relaxed, tactile finish
  • Lightweight enough for travel, warm enough for cold days
  • Simple rectangular shape makes it easy to wrap, fold or layer
  • A timeless accessory that works across seasons and occasions

Pure 100% cashmere gives this shawl its beautifully soft handle and quiet warmth. Cashmere fibres are naturally fine, which means the fabric can feel light while still offering comfort when the temperature drops. The result is a cashmere wrap that sits gently against the skin and feels luxurious without being bulky.

The clean surface allows the quality of the yarn to speak for itself. Rather than relying on heavy pattern or decoration, the shawl has a restrained, elegant character that makes it easy to wear often.

The 90 x 200cm size gives this cashmere shawl real flexibility. It is long enough to wrap around the neck with generous folds, wide enough to sit across the shoulders, and soft enough to gather neatly without feeling stiff. This makes it useful as a large cashmere scarf, a travel wrap, an evening layer or an extra-soft cover for cool days indoors.

Its proportions are also practical: substantial enough to feel special, but still easy to fold into a bag when you want a warm layer close to hand.

The fringed border softens the straight edges and adds a gentle sense of movement when the shawl is worn. It gives the piece a less formal finish, making it equally suited to relaxed everyday styling and more polished occasions.

This detail also helps frame the shawl when it is draped open, so the edges fall with a natural, easy line rather than looking plain or unfinished.

Wear it folded lengthways as a soft cashmere scarf, wrapped loosely over a coat, or opened out as a shawl across the shoulders. It also works beautifully over a dress when you want warmth without a heavy jacket, and it makes an excellent travel wrap because it is soft, light and easy to style in several ways.

For a clean everyday look, let the ends hang long. For extra warmth, wrap it close at the neck and allow the fringed edge to show. For evening, drape it open so the full width creates a soft frame around the outfit.

To preserve the softness and shape of your pure cashmere shawl, treat it gently between wears and avoid unnecessary washing. Air it naturally after use, then fold and store it flat in a drawer or breathable storage bag.

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle cashmere or wool detergent
  • Do not twist, rub or wring
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging

What is this cashmere shawl made from?

It is made from pure 100% cashmere, chosen for its softness, warmth and refined lightweight feel.

Why This Fine Scarf Works So Well

  • Fine scarf with a light, easy drape
  • Long shape gives several styling options
  • Smooth surface keeps the look clean and refined
  • Soft knit feel makes it comfortable against the skin
  • Minimal design pairs easily with both casual and polished outfits
  • Lightweight enough to carry, warm enough to make a difference

The beauty of this fine scarf is in its restraint. The knit has a soft, close texture that feels gentle without appearing heavy, giving the piece a smooth and elegant finish. It is not a chunky winter scarf; it is a lighter layer that can be styled with ease when you want warmth, softness and polish in one simple accessory.

Because the texture is subtle, the scarf works across many outfits without competing with the rest of your look. It can soften tailoring, add comfort to outerwear or bring a gentle knitted note to a dress or simple jumper.

The rectangular shape gives this scarf its natural versatility. Fold it lengthways for a neat line, wrap it once for soft volume, or leave the ends hanging long for a relaxed finish. The fine handle allows it to gather without bulk, so it feels easy rather than overwhelming.

This makes it especially useful for travelling, commuting or everyday layering, because it can be folded into a bag and brought out whenever the temperature changes.

The scarf is finished with clean, narrow edges that keep the silhouette simple. This gives the accessory a refined look and allows the fabric to fall naturally, whether it is worn close at the neck or draped open.

The absence of heavy trimming gives the design a more modern, understated character. It feels luxurious, but in a quiet way that suits daily wear.

Wear it with a wool coat for a softened neckline, layer it over a cardigan, or knot it loosely with a plain jumper for effortless texture. Its lightness also makes it useful indoors when you want an extra layer without the weight of a shawl or heavy wrap.

For a clean look, fold it once and let the ends fall straight. For more warmth, wrap it close around the neck and allow the fine knit to form soft folds.

To keep your fine scarf soft and in good shape, handle it gently between wears and store it folded. Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch delicate knitted accessories over time.

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean if required
  • Use a gentle wool or delicate detergent
  • Do not twist, rub or wring
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Store folded in a drawer or breathable bag

What makes this a fine scarf?

It has a lighter, smoother feel than a chunky scarf, with a slim knitted handle and an elegant drape for easy layering.

Is it suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The simple rectangular shape and understated texture make it easy to wear with coats, knitwear, tailoring and casual outfits.

Can it be used as a travel scarf?

Yes. It folds neatly, feels soft around the neck and is light enough to carry as an extra layer when travelling.

Does it feel bulky?

No. The fine knit is designed to sit comfortably and layer without unnecessary volume.

How should I store it?

Fold it flat rather than hanging it, and keep it away from direct heat, sunlight and rough surfaces.

Why These Cashmere Gloves Work So Well

  • Cashmere gloves with a soft, warm and breathable feel
  • Full-finger design helps protect the hands from cold air
  • Cable knit gloves with raised texture on the back of the hand
  • Ribbed cuffs help the gloves sit comfortably at the wrist
  • Natural cashmere and lambswool blend balances softness and resilience
  • One size design makes them easy to choose and simple to gift
  • Suitable for everyday winter wear, travel, walks and cold commutes
  • A refined knitted accessory that feels practical without losing elegance

The cable panel is the detail that gives these gloves their character. It adds a traditional knitted texture to the back of the hand, creating a more crafted look than a plain glove while still feeling timeless and easy to wear.

The full-finger construction offers proper winter coverage, while the neat ribbed cuff helps the glove sit securely at the wrist. The result is a pair of cable knit gloves that feels polished, warm and genuinely useful through the colder months.

The blend of cashmere and lambswool gives these gloves their soft warmth. Cashmere adds a gentle, luxurious touch, while lambswool brings natural insulation and structure, helping the knit keep its shape through regular wear.

This balance makes the gloves comfortable for everyday use: warm enough for chilly walks, soft enough against the skin, and light enough to keep in a coat pocket or bag when the weather is changeable.

These knitted gloves work easily with tailored coats, relaxed jackets, wool scarves and cashmere jumpers. Their classic cable detail gives just enough texture to feel special, without making them difficult to style with other pieces.

Wear them as part of a matching winter look or let them add a small note of softness to simple outerwear. They are especially useful on days when you want warmth, but still prefer accessories with a clean, elegant finish.

A good pair of warm gloves is one of those small winter pieces that quickly becomes part of daily routine. These are made to be reached for often: before a school run, a walk to the shop, a train journey, a weekend outing or an evening stroll.

The cable knit texture gives them a crafted feel, while the soft cashmere and wool blend keeps the mood luxurious. They are simple enough for every day, but considered enough to feel like a thoughtful winter gift.

To keep your cashmere gloves soft and neatly shaped, wash them gently by hand in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing, as this can stretch the knit and disturb the cable detail.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape carefully and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded when not in use, and refresh lightly with a cashmere comb if small bobbles appear over time.

What are these cashmere gloves made from?

They are made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool.

Do these gloves have a cable knit pattern?

Yes. The back of each glove features a raised cable knit panel, while the fingers and palms have a smoother knitted finish.

Are they suitable for everyday winter wear?

Yes. These warm gloves are designed for regular cold-weather use, from walks and errands to travel and daily commuting.

Are these gloves one size?

Yes. They are designed as one size gloves with a ribbed cuff for a comfortable wrist fit.

How should I care for them?

Hand wash gently in cool water with wool detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat away from heat.

Why These Ribbed Socks Earn Their Place

  • Made from a soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend
  • Vertical rib texture gives stretch, structure and comfort
  • Designed as everyday socks with a refined knitted finish
  • One size shape comfortably fits UK size 4 to 8
  • Ankle length works well with boots, trainers and slippers
  • Rounded toe and shaped heel support a familiar, easy fit
  • Warm enough for chilly days without feeling heavy or bulky
  • A useful luxury knit accessory for home, travel and gifting

The rib structure is central to the comfort of these socks. It gives the knit a natural elasticity, so the fabric can move with the foot and settle smoothly around the ankle without feeling stiff.

The vertical lines also add a clean, understated texture. They make the socks feel more finished than a plain knit, while keeping the design simple enough for daily wear.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives these ribbed socks their balance of softness, warmth and resilience. Cashmere adds a smoother touch against the skin, while lambswool brings body, insulation and a naturally breathable feel.

The result is a warm knitted sock that feels cosy but not excessive. They are easy to wear indoors, comfortable inside footwear and practical for the kind of days when feet need an extra layer without extra weight.

Wear them with boots when you want a soft ribbed layer at the ankle, with trainers for casual everyday dressing, or with slippers when the house feels cool. Their ankle length keeps them versatile and easy to style across seasons.

They are also ideal for travel. Compact, warm and soft, they can be packed into a weekend bag or kept close for long journeys, cool evenings away from home or a change into something more comfortable after a busy day.

A good pair of socks is a small thing, but it can change the feeling of a morning. These knitted socks are practical enough to be worn often and soft enough to feel like a treat every time they are pulled on.

The one-size fit makes them simple to give, while the ribbed texture keeps the design classic and easy to love. They are a thoughtful choice for anyone who enjoys natural fibres, warm feet and quiet everyday comfort.

To care for your ribbed socks, hand wash gently in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing, as this can stretch the knit and disturb the rib texture.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape carefully and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded rather than pulled or stretched, and refresh lightly with a cashmere comb if small bobbles appear through wear.

What are these socks made from?

They are knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving a soft, warm and breathable feel.

What size are the socks?

They are one size and comfortably fit UK size 4 to 8 thanks to the natural stretch of the rib knit.

Are these socks suitable for daily wear?

Yes. They are designed as soft everyday socks for boots, trainers, slippers and relaxed home wear.

Do the ribbed socks feel bulky?

No. The knit feels warm and cosy, but the ankle length and ribbed structure keep the shape easy to wear inside footwear.

Why choose a ribbed sock?

Ribbing gives gentle stretch, helps the sock sit comfortably and adds a clean textured finish without making the design too busy.

How should I wash them?

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, reshape gently and dry flat away from direct heat.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool

Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

100% Lambs Wool:

Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.

Mixture:

When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.

Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere

Cashmere is a type of wool that comes from the undercoat of Cashmere goats, native to the Himalayan Mountains in Central Asia. The wool is known for its exceptional softness, warmth, and durability, making it a highly sought-after material for luxury clothing and accessories, such as scarves, gloves, and sweaters.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

When it comes to scarves, a “100% cashmere” label indicates that the scarf is made entirely from this luxurious fiber, as opposed to a blend of cashmere and other materials. This ensures that the wearer will experience the full benefits of cashmere, such as its softness against the skin and its ability to retain warmth even in cold weather.

Ply:

The term “ply” refers to the number of threads that are twisted together to create the yarn used for the scarf. A 2-ply scarf means that two threads have been twisted together to create a thicker, warmer, and stronger yarn. A 2-ply scarf is typically more substantial than a 1-ply scarf, making it better suited for colder weather. Additionally, the number of plies can also affect the draping and overall appearance of the scarf.
