An ordinary wool glove does not conduct, so the screen simply ignores the touch. Touchscreen gloves have a conductive thread knitted into the fingertips, which lets you use a phone without taking the gloves off. When choosing, look at how many fingers carry the conductive part — on some models only the thumb and index finger — and whether the material is thin enough for the screen to register the touch precisely.
