Wool knit arm warmers
I lost one of them, and they were the best for me 10 months out of the year..
(they were vintage and im heartbroken)
Does anyone know of a good source for these?
the new aero thin cycling armwarmers are too tight and clammy. Those on the
Rivendell site (Woolywarm) look nice.
anyway, heres a pic of my lonely arm warmer,

I have never seen knitted arm warmers for sale, but I am sure someone could knit you a pair.
With a thick yarn and a tight stitch, you could have a nice warm (new) set of arm warmers.

If and when she makes them for you, id be curious to see what they look like, if you wouldnt mind posting a pic here.
A custom pair for me would be seamless, and include stitched thumb holes
Wool knit arm warmers are a great layering insulater for the arms, are very adjustable and can just be pulled slightly to warm hands, or fully off from under your shell if youre overheating.
I wish i could retrace it but i lost it on a ride in manhattan, i tied it around the seatpost for some reason, and it mustve worked loose.
