Thin warm fingerless gloves

I haven't put this in Style and Beauty because I don't care if they are stylish or look beautiful!

I have arthritis in my hands and the cooler weather is giving me pain and pins and needles in my wrist, palm and fingers. I am seeing my rheumatologist soon but meanwhile can anyone recommend some good fingerless gloves that are thin, warm, washable without pilling and large enough to fit comfortably over swollen joints. Perhaps one style element - green if possible.

Cashmere ones from somewhere like turtle doves are lovely. I have washed mine before and they’ve been fine.

Came on to say turtle doves. Nice soft cashmere, washes well, keeps you warm, a fairly loose fit to allow for swollen joints. Available in lots of colours.

The ladies who used to make gloves for Turtle Doves set up their own business when Turtle Doves sold out & moved a lot of their production to Cornwall. I was a huge fan of the original Turtle Doves and Whinberry has retained their original quality, whereas TD is now part of a much larger group. Their prices went up and quality slided in my opinion.

Thanks. I have looked at Turtle Doves but they only seem to have the letter box style single opening for the fingers, whereas I want ones with short separate finger holes (I suppose they are not strictly fingerless then are they?). Looks like the same for Whinberry.

@HewasH2O thank you for that link. Loved Turtledoves back in the day but more recent ones havd been disappointing
