I always want to put the softest yarns on my hands, where I can feel it most keenly. Halo, named for the gently sparkling bands of singles and the fuzz around the mohair, is a simple knit that’s light as a feather and soft as air.

Halo is part of the Well in Hand collection, and is not available individually.

Sizing

Halo comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large (S, M, L) and is designed to be worn with around 1-2” / 2.5-5cm negative ease.

Size small measures 4.6” (11.6 cm) around and will fit hands up to 6.5” (15cm) at the wrist / knuckle.
Size medium measures 5.5” (13.7 cm) around and will fit hands up to 7.5” (18cm) at the wrist / knuckle.
Size large measures 6.3” (15.8 cm) around and will fit hands up to 8.5” (20cm) at the wrist / knuckle.
