Let’s learn how to make cozy felted slippers! Felting wool creates a dense and warm fabric, perfect for creating cozy slippers. Our experienced instructor, Sarah, will guide you through knitting your slipper shape, seaming your slipper shut, and felting your slipper.

This workshop comes with four (4) skeins of yarn. Some sizes may need additional yarn. Any additional yarn needs to be purchased. Students receive 10% off materials at checkout.

In this workshop, each week progresses to the next step outlined by the instructor. This class includes “homework” that will need to be done outside of class for the next session. Any missed classes will need to be made up during the week, before the next class.
