   >> GAUGE

The gauge is a unit of measure used to determine the density of needles on a knitting machine.
Nnumber of needles included in an English inch or 2.54 cm.

The higher is the gauge, the thiner is the knitting and the better is the dexterity.

The lower is the gauge, the thicker is the knitting and the better is the protection.

Current gauges used for gloves are: 7,10,13,15, 18.

Warning the gauge is not the only characteristic that determines the quality and durability of the glove.

The quality of the glove itself, the quality of the fibres, the number of threads, the coating...have critical influences.
