Hi Stitchers,

In addition:  This is what LORI WROTE:

I used 3 balls (50 g/50m) of the Lana Grossa Feltro purchased at Strickeria.  This made a slipper for a size 35/36.  You can use any bulky weight wool, but it must be  100% wool to felt.  Manmade or plant fibers, i.e. acrylic and cotton yarns, will not felt.

Other materials needed:  Size U.S. #11 needles (8mm)  Yarn needle for sewing the slipper together

I traced my foot on a piece of paper and measured to get the length.  You will need to know how long your foot is to make the slipper the correct size.
