felting

Fold the opening in half and baste together with cotton cord. Felt in the washer, checking occasionally to see if the slippers are felted to your foot size. When the slippers are felted to the desired size and texture, remove the basting cord, adjust to the finished shape by trying on for several minutes, then carefully take them off and let dry in a warm, dry place.
