GAUGE ALERT - Isager Alpaca 2 is a LIGHTWEIGHT fingering yarn with the somewhat looser, loftier twist of a traditional colorwork wool.
(50g - 273yds/250m)

I looked long and hard for a very lightweight, strong fingering yarn because I love, love, love the look of a very small gauge in colorwork.

Most Superwash-type Fingering Weight sock yarns,
(50g - 175-220yds/160-220m), often spun tightly with a very springy, tubular twist, will not achieve my gauge.

The Grasshopper Gauntlet is a fully charted design for colorwork fingerless gloves. Can be knitted in four sizes (pattern includes individual charts for each size).
