When landscape architect and horticulturist, Harriet Zbikowski, was looking for a pair of good fitting gardening gloves that would be comfortable all day long, she tried every style on the market. Most were bulky, hot and just didn't do the job properly.
One day she tried a pair of ladies dress gloves from the 1950's. She loved the snug fit and found them comfortable all day long. The only problem was they weren't meant for the rigors of gardening and wore out very quickly.
It occurred to her that made from modern fabrics, these dress gloves would be perfect for gardening. By combining SUPPLEX nylon for durability and LYCRA spandex for four-way stretch, she created a new style of gardening glove that fits beautifully, has a soft feel, protects hands and provides long lasting performance.
SUPPLEX nylon is strong, durable and has a soft cottony feel.
LYCRA spandex has long been popular in swimwear for supportive fit, ease of movement and comfort. It provides the same wonderful features in a gardening glove.
Foxgloves are durable, resistant to abrasion, and will keep your cuticles, nails and fingers protected. The longer length means that wrists are also protected. Suitable for weeding, planting, particularly useful when working with delicate seedlings, and any job that requires a gentle touch. Because of the tight knit and the brushed surface, soil will not penetrate the cloth and your hands and nails stay clean. Even working in muddy conditions, your hands are still protected. They are not waterproof but are resistant to water, not absorbing it like cotton and leather gloves. This means that you can continue to work in wet conditions and Foxgloves will retain their shape and fit, not becoming heavy or unmanageable. They don't tear on thorns either but if you do a lot of rose work, slip them under a pair of leather outer gloves for added protection against thorns. The fabric keeps your hands cool and comfortable and helps prevent blistering when power pruning or digging all afternoon. Just machine wash and dry on low setting.Foxgloves come in 11 wonderful colours: Brown, Delphinium (deep) Blue, Periwinkle (light) Blue, Aqua Mist, Spring Green (lime), Moss Green, Petal Pink (light pink), Fuchsia (deep pink), Purple, Black and Red. Because of their four-way stretch, one size fits almost everyone.
