How do I find my size?
How do I find my size?
Wrap a soft tape measure around your palm at its widest point, just below the knuckles, with your thumb relaxed out to the side. No tape measure? A strip of paper or a piece of string works just as well. Wrap it round, mark where it meets, then hold it against a ruler.
Measure your dominant hand, or whichever is wider. Each order includes a left and a right, so one size covers the pair.
Keep it snug but not tight, then match your measurement to the chart below.
Small: 7 to 7.5 inches / 18 to 19 cm
Medium: 7.5 to 8.5 inches / 19 to 21.5 cm
Large: 8.5 to 9 inches / 21.5 to 23 cm
On the border between two sizes, choose the smaller one. A snug fit at the base of the thumb gives the best support, and the fabric gives a little as it settles in.
How does it work?
How does it work?
Most thumb pain in knitters starts at the CMC joint, the joint at the base of your thumb where it meets the wrist. Every stitch puts load through that joint and over time it starts to ache, then throb, then stop you mid-row.
The Valena™ sits a contoured pad directly over that joint and holds it steady while you work. The sliding stops. The pain that comes with it quiets down. Your four fingers stay completely free so your grip, your tension, and your stitch feel exactly the same.
Who is this for?
Who is this for?
This is for knitters and crocheters who have started cutting sessions short. Who take ibuprofen before they sit down. Who have tried rigid splints that locked their whole hand and made knitting impossible, or wrist braces that did the same.
If you love what you do and your thumb is the only thing standing between you and another hour of it, this is built for exactly that.

Back to Knitting After Arthritis
"I was skeptical it would make any difference. I was wrong. It is a game changer. I can knit and crochet without pain for hours on end. It is wonderful."

An Hour Without Pain for the First Time
"I was unable to knit without pain while knitting, and for days after if I pushed through. Now I can knit for an hour without pain, and if I have pain after, wearing the gloves without knitting helps relieve it."

Wish I Had Found These Sooner
"First time I used them it really stopped my thumb hurting while knitting. Wish I had found them sooner."
Everything Else Stops You From Knitting
Rigid thumb splints lock the entire thumb in place. The pain stops, but so does any movement. You can't grip a needle, you can't work a stitch, you can't even hold a cup properly.
Wrist braces do the same thing from a different direction. Fine for sleeping. Useless for crafting.
Cortisone shots calm the inflammation around the joint without stopping the joint from sliding. The moment you pick up your needles again, the cycle restarts. The first shot buys a few months. The second buys less. The third is usually followed by a conversation about surgery.
None of them were designed for someone who needs their hands free to actually do something.
Built Around the Joint That's Actually Sliding
The Valena™ was designed specifically for knitters and crocheters, around the one joint that repetitive stitch work loads most. The contoured CMC pad holds the base of the thumb steady. The smooth yarn-glide fabric won't snag your wool or interrupt your work. And all four fingers stay completely free so nothing about the way you knit has to change.
You slip it on. You pick up where you left off.
Soft Enough to Forget You're Wearing It
The problem with most thumb supports is that after twenty minutes you're more aware of the brace than the pain. They're stiff, restrictive, or warm in the wrong way.
The Valena™ is soft enough to wear for hours without thinking about it. Knitters wear theirs through full sessions, through housework, through everything in between. Hand wash, lay flat to dry, and it's ready again the next day.
Four Fingers Free. Always
This is the thing no other support gets right. Your index finger controls your tension. Your middle and ring fingers guide the needle. Your pinky steadies the work. Lock any one of them down and the feel of your knitting changes completely.
The Valena™ leaves all four fingers entirely free. The support is targeted to the one joint that needs it. Everything else moves exactly the way it always has.
Recommended by Hand Therapy Specialists
Thumb pain in knitters and crocheters is almost always rooted in the CMC joint, the joint at the base of the thumb that takes the load of every stitch. Rigid splints and generic wrist braces restrict movement without addressing that joint specifically, which is why so many crafters find them useless for anything but sleeping.
"Targeted CMC support that leaves the fingers free is exactly what repetitive hand crafters need. Most commercially available supports are designed for rest, not for continued activity. A contoured pad that stabilizes the base joint while preserving full finger movement is the right approach for someone who wants to keep doing what they love without making the underlying problem worse."

How long should I wear it?

For the first few sessions wear it for 15 to 30 minutes while your hand settles in. After that wear it for as long as you are comfortable. Many knitters wear theirs through full sessions and beyond.
Will it help with arthritis, De Quervain's, or trigger thumb?
