If you know me, you know that my toes are always cold. ALWAYS.
I will wear sneakers in 100 degree heat because my toes are always cold. Sometimes they even turn a purple/blue color! Does that mean I have low circulation? Probably. Way too much information.
Anyway – the other day I found myself searching for my favorite, albeit ugly, fuzzy socks when I realized – I can crochet myself the perfect house slippers that are cute and functional. Hmmm…..
I worked away on another project and dreamed of making my own slippers.
When Wool and the Gang contacted me about working with their brand new Tina Tape Yarn – I wondered if this would be the perfect yarn for the task. Will it be soft enough? Without being suffocatingly warm?
Tina arrived in the mail and I knew instantly – she was the one. The color was perfect, the softness was perfect, and I just felt instantly that Tina was meant to be a slipper. Tina Tape Yarn uses renewable energy and is made of fibre from sustainably sourced eucalyptus trees. Good for the environment and super pretty!
After a bit of trial and error, I wound up with this little pair of girly slippers and I’ve been thrilled to wear them around the house constantly – I only take them off to put on real shoes!
(These slippers are one size fits most, they will stretch a bit and will fit US women’s shoe size 7-11.)
