- This video is a supplement to The Knitted Slipper Book. The book features 30 patterns for slippers and house shoes for the entire family, and many of the designs are knitted and then hand-felted. This video shows the techniques I use to hand-felt my knits.
The Knitted Slipper Book is an everything-you-need-to-know guide to making slippers. In addition to the knitting instructions, techniques covered include felting; shaping; sizing; attaching soles, linings, and insoles; and finishing with tassels, pom-poms, and other trims. Step-by-step photos assure beautiful, hard-wearing, and well-fitting results.
Great - al the necessary information only. Love it !
Simple and to the point. Thank you.
This video helped me so much - and it was a pleasure to watch!
This is so helpful: I have tried felting my knits in my washing machine with variable results. Now I will try your method.
wow.. my first lesson in felting! thank you! hope things are well with you
Adore this video!
Thank you!
Nice
Can I do this same technique with a sweater? If so how many sizes does it shrink / or Inches x
What fiber was used and does this technique work for crochet?
Does this only work with wool?
Is it 100% wool?
hi ! what type of yanr can I choose ? thnx
Yanna Michaelides you need wool to felt I believe not man made fibre
What kind of yarn do you have to knit with to felt it?
Wool. And not 'superwash' as that has been processed so it won't shrink and felt.
I have several books with patterns knitted and to be felted! They suggest Worsted.
Or : as I live in Britain, best felting wools are - Blue-faced Leicester, Cheviot, Masham, Welsh Mules (cross breed), but Merino or merino-cross is very good.
Also Corriedale, Icelandic,Falkland and Gotland.
This may come too late!!!
