Although we have little evidence for gloves, people did have woollen mittens. These can be made either by nålebinding or from woven cloth.
{{Quote|…any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil.|St. Paul, Letter to the Corinthians}}
