❀ ❀ ❀ I felt my house slippers myself, even for warm seasons. After a long day it is a good feeling to slip on in the cozy slippers, and it seems not too warm. Wool and wool alpaca blends seem like a fleece. Wool and alpaca calm feet after a long busy day and give a beautiful feeling. I wish you learn this feeling to give your feet calm and soft care every day. ❀❀❀

Felting notes

The slippers are felted by hand and in a front-loading washing machine with shoe lasts of polystyrene for felting (optional). You can felt your shoes with a towel twisted together, in every shoe one towel. The principles of felting are the same with shoe lasts or with towels.

Needle: The needle number is between 10 1/2 and 11 according to the Ravelry table. I suggest to knit a sample. The gauge for felting looks airy, light, not very dense as the usually knitting.
