Turn gloves into heat conducting
Think of this, there is a sharp chill in the air, and as you adjust your jacket and go deeper into it, you see the perfect snowy scene in front of you. You reach for your cellphone, hurrying as much as you can. But the fleeting moment in front of you passes. And why so ? Because your wool clad warm hands could not touch your screen in the cold.
Why This Happens
Many touchscreens have what is known as a capacitive touchscreen. If any conductor of electricity comes near the screen, it will be sense it. Since skin is a good conductor, we are able to ‘touch’ these screens. Gloves on the other hand, are not so good. But never fear, a solution is here—all you need is a functional knowledge of stitching, your old gloves and metallic thread.

Gloves. You will need a needle and metallic thread, which is available for Rs. 10 in craft shops. This thread is not hard as wire and will not scratch your screen.
