Here is the listing I wrote for my gloves using this checklist as a jumping off point:

DESCRIPTION:
These one-of-a-kind, hand knit gloves are made from exquisetly soft merino wool. With splashes of purple, pink & green, these colorful fingerless gloves are intentionally mismatched. Knit in a stretchy rib, they can comfortably fit most adult-sized hands.

Keeps your hands warm on chilly days when your fingers still need freedom. Perfect for driving, typing up your next great blog post, holding hands with your sweetie, or saving the world!

They feel great on the skin, soft to the touch and non-itchy. If you're looking for a unique gift idea, snatch these up!

SIZE:
7" (18 cm) from fingers to wrist
7 1/2" (19 cm) around, can stretch to about 12 1/2" (32 cm)

I only use handspun, hand dyed yarn from fellow Etsy makers! The yarn used for these gloves came from Whirling Wool & Alpaca.

I knit the gloves simultaneously, one from each end of the skein, so the color patterns and length of the gloves are determined by the unique properties of the yarn. This makes each pair completely one of a kind, even pairs made from the same yarn won't be exactly alike!

NOTES:
Handwash gloves with mild soap in cold water. Heat and friction can cause wool to felt and shrink.
Gloves are intended for light wear; performing tasks that create extended friction against the material may shorten the life of your gloves.
People with wool allergies may be sensitive to these gloves.
Gloves fit most adult hands, but may be too large for children.

SHIPPING INFORMATION:
I aim to ship out all orders within three days of purchase. All orders ship out 2-3 Day Priority mail (within the US, International orders take longer to ship and may spend extra time in customs depending on your country).

If anything happens to delay shipment of your order, I'll do my best to contact you and let you know.
