Harlequin Slipper Socks

Finished! The slippers felted down nicely, forming a nice sturdy fabric. Even though it was 80+ degrees in the house, I wore them Saturday evening while they were still damp, so they’d conform to my feet. I now have left and right slippers, sized just right for wearing barefoot or with socks. (And they’re surprisingly comfortable when worn barefoot! Not the least bit itchy.)

Yesterday’s 90+ outdoor temperatures had these puppies dry in no time—quite the contrast to previous felting projects, which have taken days to dry despite being set on wire racks and pelted by a steady stream of air from a fan. Such is the difference between a dry Oregon summer and the rest of the year.
