Keep your hands, wrists and arms toasty and snug in these ‘two-of-a-kind’armies made from recycled, felted 100% wool sweaters. Wear them from autumn to spring, indoors and on the streets.

This man-sized pair is cut from a very finely ribbed navy jumper. The hand end features the finished edge of the jumper allowing for a snugger fit across the knuckles. Each armie is embellished with a circle- one black, one dark blue cut from jumper scraps and stitched down with green thread.

They are a medium man's size (swimming in the images on my girlfriend's small hands!) and measure 29 cm (11 1/2 inches) in length.

Our armies are mostly cut to one medium women's size, but the size will vary slightly from pair to pair depending on the thickness / stretch of the sweater they're cut from. They will fit men with small to medium hands as well. We also make some larger sized pairs specifically for men. If you have particularly small hands I can take them in for you.

Tubeway Armies are part of the Body Parts range of winter accessories, a collaboration between me and my fellow stitcher Melanie Hill (Textile Allsorts)
