Recommended Straight Needles: 10-Inch Signature Needles by Signature Needle Arts
Signature Needles are the official straight needle of KnitFreedom. Their stiletto-tip straight needle is smooth, accurate, and perfect for lace knitting.
I recommend the 10″ length, stiletto tip (for any knitting). The cap style is up to you!

Recommended Yarn: Walkabout Yarn by Queensland Collection
Queensland Collection Walkabout is a great DK-weight yarn for using with our Felted Slippers class and pattern.
Its heathered colors complement each other, and it is a breeze to work with. Felts beautifully.
Recommended Notion: Needle-Felting Needles by Fiber Trends
A good beginner pack of felting needles can introduce you to the fun skill of needle felting. Use wool yarn to add decorations to your finished projects.
Serious needle-felters even make lifelike figurines from pure wool by needle-felting.

Recommended Notion: Needle-Felting Pad by Clover
A needle-felting pad helps you needle-felt without poking your fingers. It provides a firm base for your needle felting projects.
Recommended Notion: Suede Slipper Bottoms by Fiber Trends
These popular slipper bottoms (2-piece: heel and toe) add traction and durability to the bottoms of your slippers or slipper-socks.
The sewing holes are pre-punched, and you can sew them on with the included sock yarn. Prevents your slippers or socks from wearing out in the heel and toe.

Testimonial: I Never Thought I’d Learn to Knit, and Now I Have
In regards to: Felted Slippers, Free Learn to Knit
I love the classes I’ve bought from Liat because they've given me something to do during this interminable downtime of the virus. I can’t go many places, but I’ve learned to knit socks (imagine that!) and learned to knit and felt a pair of slippers that I wear constantly. I love it.
I never thought I’d learn to knit, and now I have. Plus I know I can learn more, since Liat’s videos are so easy to follow, so clear, so calm and always so upbeat. She makes me feel as though it’s impossible to make a mistake that does irreparable damage. If you can’t make a mistake, why not learn to knit too?

Testimonial: I Enjoyed the Class so Much That I Became a Premium Lifetime Member
In regards to: Felted Slippers, Premium MembershipI felt so encouraged and SUPPORTED. The KnitFreedom team is superior. I felt comfort when I read your emails, knowing that if I needed help you would be there and respond to emails promptly. THAT encouraged me to continue… I was not judged and that was important to me.
I was, at one point, a skilled knitter and due to carpel tunnel of my dominant hand I stopped knitting for almost a decade. AND if you do not use it, you lose it…. KnitFreedom and the slippers got me hooked again. PLUS Liat's enthusiasm, her support, her involvement, her honesty, and her check ins with the students via email… I enjoyed the class so much that I became a Premium Lifetime member. If I had to give a grade based on 1-10 with ten being the highest… I would give this class and the team at KnitFreedom a 10+.

Testimonial: Your Encouragement and Confidence in Me Carries Me Through
I want to tell you how much fun I’ve had with this project right from the start! What a treat to have the schematic to cut out and fold in advance of actually doing this with our knitted slippers. And connecting us to ImagiKnit with an already curated list of appropriate yarns helped me narrow my choices and pick some really interesting colors and textures…
Your instructions and videos are spot on. I’m not fond of seaming but with your detailed tutorials I am confident I can do this. Most of all, I have always received prompt and helpful replies to my messages. Your encouragement and confidence in me carries me through.
