OK..last nite at around one AM i answered a post on a outdoor gear related site about where to find ragg wool gloves.i had no answer then..i do now but---forgot which site that was..so you all will get this post in the hopes that i hit the right one. ..the advice was to find someone who knits to make them for you,and yes i need to go to bed early..
Fox River makes a few different models of fingerless ragg wool gloves. I've tried them in some local stores and they seem solid.
I have found their lightweight Glomitts to be very nice. The heavyweight Glomitts are too bulky for my taste. I have a pair of no-name lightweight glomitts that I got in 1998 and still use to this day.

After seeing them all over Victoria last weekend, I picked up a pair of polartec glomitts yesterday at an Eddie Bauer outlet sale, about $12. Everything is a compromise, but I like the combination of fingerless gloves for writing, and mitts when you're not.

This is my third winter relying on Duluth Trading Glomitts. Have bought several pairs to make sure I can always cobble at least one together at home and in the car. I have several far more expensive gloves but the Glomitts are my go-to 90% of the time (except when biking, making snowballs or needing dressier).
Mike..my family is from Canada by way of Scotland.we do seem to think alike---by the way i did hit the right site about the gloves,it was BWCA.com...and i wear those inside over sized gauntlet mitts.
