SIZING

Sizing is based on Zappos Shoe Size Conversion Chart on the Zappos website:

https://www.zappos.com/c/shoe-size-conversion

If you want more space in your slipper, make one or two sizes up and shrink to your preference (Give or take a few cm)

You can make some MENS sizes and some KIDS sizes using this template. Refer to zappos shoe sizing chart and find appropriate and approximate size needed.

FELTING TIPS

WATCH: How to Make a Wet Felted Slipper by Muffs Merino on YouTube.

Use all the fibre amount stated for your size (or more give or take a few grams) for a thick slipper. Always Finish on an even amount of crosshatched layers.

Lower wool micron weights result in a thinner slipper. This slipper template is designed using Medium Bulky Ashford Corriedale Wool 30-40 Micron.

Once you remove the resist, your slippers will shrink in the direction you apply pressure, agitate or roll them. You can narrow the toe and heel by rolling your slippers diagonally.

Duct tape your bubblewrap or flat packing foam resist where the hole will be cut. This way you won't cut through the resist and you can reuse it over and over again.

HOLE CUTTING

Place your hole template in the centre at the heel using the measurements provided for each size. Hole does stretch. Once you have cut the hole and you're slippers begin to felt, pull the hole gently to stretch it out for perfect sizing. Hole can be snug and stretched to size. Hole will stretch 1-2cm after two weeks of wear. Cutting a hole that is too large can result in a loose fit slipper or your slipper falling off your feet. For exact replicable results, purchase shoe lasts in all sizes. Muffs slipper template design fits HomeSoulShop Shoe Lasts perfectly
