I have four skeins of Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool (Kinmount Hand Dyed) and was wondering about making a pair of the Felted Clogs for my MiL out of them.... can anyone tell me whether or not if felts very well?

Thanks!

Grace and Peace,

Hey Tim.... Bradley here!

Hey Tim....

Bradley here! It does felt very well. I tried felting some by hand and by machine and it worked equally well both ways. Hope you decide to do them! Eric Paul made a pair and we still have to felt them... I have yarn to make some myself, just waiting to finish some other projects (EP's Scarf for one!) before I start them. Take care! Happy Advent!
