Knitting a pair of Victorian Gloves out of dog wool from a historic knitting manual

- Hello friends! Tell me I'm not the only one with slight Cruella Deville intentions when seeing a flooffy dog... So that is why in this video we will attempt knit a pair of Victorian or Edwardian gloves with the lace weight chiengora yarn we made earlier. You may or may not have noticed that my personal style is greatly influenced by historical and vintage fashion. You can find that video when following this link: • Can I spin a lace yarn...
Chiengora, or dog wool, is said to be up to 80% warmer than sheep's wool. So gloves are the ideal project to keep my extremities warm this coming winter. We will knit these lady's gloves as per original and historic instructions of the victorian or edwardian period. I found the "Second book of 'Hows': or what may be done with wools in every home" on the internet archive. (For those of you who want to knit your own historic reconstruction garments, here's a link: archive.org/de... ). This knitting and crochet manual was published in 1902, making it technically edwardian. But as the gloves pattern refers to an earlier one, published in 1900 I will call them victorian. In any case, join me on this project where we attempt to knit a turn of the century pair of gloves with dog wool!
Some people say dog yarns smell like wet dog, but it is the dog that makes a dog smell like wet dog, not its fur. So when processed into yarn, it does not smell. Or that is at least my experience with it.
Is there any historic reference to victorians and edwardians knitting their gloves or other knitwear with dog wool? Well, no. But there are also no references that they didn't. So maybe this project isn't entirely historically accurate, but it is at least historically possible!

Friends! I'm sorry if the music starting at the reveal now is jarringly loud... I got had to change the music because someone claimed it as theirs. My appeal was rejected, and I feel worried for any implications not changing the music might have for my channel, so I swapped the music, but I couldn't change the volume in TH-cam Studio. So, apologies if anyone got spooked by the volume change.
Heads up, the link to the pattern in your description is broken or inactive.
(correction edit: it is broken, the closing parenthesis causes an error but without it opens as intended)
@@duod7847 Thanks for the heads up! I added an extra space after the URL, hopefully that fixes it.
I loved the intro! Team grandma all the way!
Thank you, I thought of it myself 😅🤭
From the USA with the red fawn Akita Inu, Bear. I was just hoping to see you make a scarf or hat but gloves! You hit it out of the park. I'll be making a scarf, maybe one with pockets too put my hands in.
I already have so many scarves and hats... 😁
I love watching your channel. Your personality shines!
Thank you 🥰
THIS IS THE BEST INTRO OF ALL TIME AND I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO DISAGREES.
Thank you this made my day 🥰
Gloves look fantastic one thing I still haven’t made
Those gloves look nice and warm, ideal for these temperatures! I am thinking of knitting some mittens, but making them really big and felting them, so they are even warmer.
Ooh that sounds ✨✨✨cosy✨✨✨
You definitely have grandma energy but that's 100% a compliment. Chaos goblin grandma.
The gloves are really nice!! And it's kind of a neat way to use the fur you'd end up collecting anyway.
I love the look of items knitted on tiny needles but my shaky hands could never. So I'll enjoy it through you.
Also please give your puppy love from us. 💗
I would never take grandma energy as anything Else than a compliment 😎
Sitka says thank you for the love. Or well, I think that's what she meant when she said arooooo. 😁
Awesome map of the Roman Empire 👌
Awesome gloves as well of course ❤️
If you're going to do some history nerd shit you gotta show you're a history nerd 😎
I need to up my knitting game, I discovered making my own socks was the best way to deal with my stumpy child feet and now you have shown me how to actually own gloves which aren't 2cm longer than my little fingers! Maybe I'll be brave enough to try after Christmas....
The world isn't made for People with short extremities, it's a travesty. 😋
This grandma loves the way you dress!😄 You are fun and an inspiration. Beautiful gloves!
Thank you 🥰
You flipping off the camera made me LOL also the halo on those gloves is stunning!!! 🤤 I've been collecting my cat's hair for a few years now and you're giving me inspiration!
I'm curious to see how different cat hair would be... Don't know if I'm able to try myself as I'm allergic to most cats. So you'll have to put that inspiration to practice 😉
Those are awesome. You did great! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 🥰
Hi Jente, I hope you're all OK xx ❣️
I love your Gloves, they look so warm and comfy. I'm with you on having to refer to other pages within the pattern, it can be annoying.
I hope it is warmer there than the part of England that I live in, we've had snow and temperatures well below freezing for well over a week. 🎑☃️
Roll on summer.

Take care and stay safe and warm
Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️🫂🫂🐕
I think temperatures here are comparable. It's been a frosty Wonderland all week, no snow though. Hope you're staying warm and comfy! 🥰
@@MijnWolden Hi Jente, I'm sorry for not replying sooner.
Hope you and Dries have a Wonderful New Year. Hope it's everything you want it to be. 🎉🎉✨️✨️🎆🎆
Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast
Thankyou so much for the Heart ♥ Reply
Sending Heart ♥ back to you

Team stumpy fingers represent T.T
These look so floofy and warm... Personally I would love to see some reproduction stuff but I also love the Exploration videos of just Trying Things Out.
Maybe putting the experimental in experimental archeology?
Putting the experimental in experimental archaeology... You can be sure I'm going to steal that sentence one day 😎
@@MijnWolden feel free :D
Did you have "second glove syndrome?" These look fantastic!
TH-cam deadlines are stronger than second glove syndrome ;)
so what about FPV pilot gloves? 🙂
😀
They are great. Bet they are very warm.
Do they smell of dog? Or only when wet?
They don't smell like dog to me, I have read that it is the dog that smells like dog, not the hairs
I had two Great Pyrenees who passed summer 2022 at 11 yrs old, littermates, and I miss them so much. But I saved their undercoats when they were young from brushing them out. I plan to spin it up and I like your idea of gloves. Was going to blend with some sheeps wool but I like the idea of just being able to 'feel' them better if I leave the wool out. Do your gloves 'feel' like your pup?
I'm not sure I would say it feels exactly like our dog, but the gloves were in my pocket today when I was out for my day job and I found myself stroking or petting the gloves. I once tried to spin her fur pure and made a hat out of it and that was very pup-like. But that yarn wasn't very sturdy and gave way After a while, that's mainly why I blended it with wool now
Maybe spin enough to knit a little swatch to just have as your "petting square". If it's not a garment it won't have as much repeated stretching and rubbing to cause the yarn to wear out. Blending with wool also lets your fur go much farther in terms of how much you need, so you'd be able to knit something bigger, or more items if it was blended.
I just might 😁
@@leahgroess5361 that is a great suggestion, thanks!
… i now want to do this with my boyfriend’s dog’s fur 😂
Do it 👀
