My mum has asked for some for Christmas and I'm going mad! She wants them to be machine washable as she has a very active outdoor lifestyle and they'll get grubby. But at the same time she wants 'nice' ones (was deeply offended by a previous Mountain Warehouse offering)! She likes wool over synthetic materials, but all the woollen gloves I can find seem to be 'hand wash only'. Aaargghhh!! She likes fairly muted colours, blue/grey/maybe a hint of colour but nothing too vibrant, and she wants reasonably lightweight ones, so not too chunky. She'd prefer with mitten flaps she can use when it is extra cold. Nothing with tiny fibres that'll shed and end up in her contact lenses! I'm thinking the £10-30 price point. Please help Mumsnet!
