Several of these styles are also perfect if you work year-round in a setting that mimics winter, such as walk-in freezers or other frigid workspaces.
Fleece-lined cotton gloves
For moderately cold weather, and for a variety of tasks ranging from gardening to general outdoor work to manufacturing, fleece-lined cotton gloves are the perfect fit.

Most cotton fabrics can be laundered in the washing machine. They should be washed frequently, since they tend to absorb moisture and pick up dirt. Wash white itmes in hot water, medium colors in warm water and dard colors in cold water.

Cotton fabric has been cultivated for 7,000 years, and it seems to increase in popularity as modern technology blends it with other fibers and gives it special performance finishes.
Cotton fabric is popular because it’s easy to care for and comfortable year-round. In hot, humid weather, cotton “breathes.” As teh body perspires, cotton fibers absorb the moisture and release it on the surface of the fabirc, so it evaporates. In cold weather, if the fabric remains dry, the fibers retain body heat, especially napped fabrics.
