I have a pair of gardening gloves with the nubs that I love. They are tight fitting, and I can pick up thread, pins and needles with them. They were on clearance, and I paid a whopping .99 cents for them. Unfortunately, I've never found another pair like them. I think you just have to try on a lot a gloves to find that perfect pair. My BFF has a couple of different name brand gloves, and I don't like the fit of either pair.
