It’s funny because in my program we’re actually trained not to use gloves so we can have full sense and dexterity in our fingertips when examining textiles. And something like a rough cotton glove could actually damage a very delicate textile!
For something like gelatin sequins, yes gloves, because of body heat. But a clean, dry pair of hands is just fine for a lot of things, I think. And you’re also more likely to wash your hands repeatedly than change gloves repeatedly.
