It occurred to me watching the New Year's parades that those drum majors flipping those sticks around are wearing gloves. I was like, "How do they do that? Gloves are so slippery!" I can't tell you how often I've thrown my hoop during cold weather because of slippery gloves. Well, it turns out they wear special gloves. Cotton grip gloves! I've often tried to figure out how to make gloves just like these, something with some sticky to them but in a way that didn't show. Well check this out. And only about $6 too. Now I want to find them in other colors and lengths!

Permalink Reply by Traci "CircularPraise" Bonney on February 27, 2011 at 6:46am Thanks for the link, C! Poking around the site, I saw they also have the grip gloves in shorter lengths (to the wrist) in white and beige (they were in the Gloves-Costume-Theatrical section of the site).
As for other colors, maybe you could get several pair in white and then dye them to the colors you want. The grip material might not take the dye, so you could end up with a funky two-tone effect, but it might be worth experimenting with if it saves you from hunting all over cyberspace for colored gloves.
