Possibly impossible glove hunt (for sensitive hands)

My adult daughter had a brain injury and one side effect is sensitivity to text, and feeling the cold a lot. Her gloves currently are lovely and warm but lined with fleece (too scratchy) ditto wool, cotton. Also apparenrly must be mittens. (but not ones with split fingers inside)
It sounds impossible i realise!
Any thoughts anyone?

Silk liners maybe?

Would a soft sheepskin be too much?

Definitely a smoother feeling to fleece.

If she prefers mittens, then I recommend wearing wristwarmers underneath. The tighter fit means they don't move around, which combined with the microfleece makes them much easier to tolerate (I have hypersensitivity due to nerve damage). My favourite mittens are down filled ones in a larger size so theres no pressure round the wrist

I got some Swedish mittens from Hus & Hem - they are really warm and very soft inside, don't know if they would be suitable?
