Suggested Bulky Yarn for Our New Year's Cast-On Project: Wychwood Slippers
We're recommending Malabrigo Chunky or Universal Yarns Maman
Additional colors are also available in the shop now
Every year our shop has a fun tradition to celebrate the New Year! We learned about this idea from a group of UK knitters who start a pair of socks every New Year's Eve. We have chosen different projects each year. This New Year's Eve we're hoping you'll join us and start a pair of Wychwood Slippers, designed by Claire Slade.
Wychwood are wonderfully cozy slipper boots that will keep your feet warn and toasty. Incorporating heel and toe shaping these slippers will hug your feet. The Wychwood slippers are knit first flat and then in the round from the sole up completely seamlessly. Super easy! You can do it! This is a written pattern with no charts.
Malabrigo Yarn Chunky: 109 yards/100% hand-dyed merino wool
Universal Yarns Maman: 109 yards/100% acrylic
We'll kick-off the project Monday, December 29, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM, with a free online how-to discussion of the pattern and various techniques led by Tiffany Perry.
