Hey there, fellow craft enthusiasts! It’s Gina here, your go-to gal for all things quilting. Guess what? I’ve got a little story for you. When I felt this odd pain in my left palm, right around my index finger’s joint, my doc suggested some support gloves. You’d think those would be available in pharmacies, right? Nope! They had braces for nearly everything but hands.
Now, New Hampshire might not be bustling with medical suppliers, but guess what popped into my inbox the very next day? An e-mail from Jo-Ann Fabrics spotlighting these amazing Handeze Therapeutic Craft Gloves! These fingerless, cuffed wonders were a brainchild of the New England Therapeutic Research Group and are wrapped up for us by Berroco (those awesome knitting yarn folks). You might find them on Amazon too! Available in chic beige or slate blue, they offer various sizes for every hand out there.
Wondering how to pick your size? The Handeze site’s got you covered with some simple hand-measuring instructions. ️
My Personal Experience?
I snagged my pair from Amazon, and they landed on my doorstep in no time. Although I was torn between buying a pair or just one for my aching left hand, I went with the latter to give it a test drive. My initial fears? That it might be too constricting or scorching. But boy, was I mistaken! It’s like slipping on a snug swimsuit… but for your hands! ♀️
Within moments of trying it on, my hand felt invigorated and slightly warm, like it was waking up after a long nap. But it wasn’t overheating. And let me tell you, after a few quilting sessions, I barely remembered I had it on! It offers relief without compromising movement. Heck, I was handling appliqué pins like a pro!
The packaging sings praises about relief from ailments like arthritis, tendinitis, and even carpal tunnel. While it’s no magic cure, it certainly makes hours of quilting way more comfortable. Who would’ve thought to find such relief in a quilting store?
