Slippers for felting, have tried some already and this wool felts well but doesn’t shrink down as much as I had expected so have made these maybe 10% too big. They’re in the washing machine and my fingers are crossed…

The following notes are for my own record, if these slippers work I plan to knit lots of them. My feet are size 42.
