Here is a sequence of photos showing how I made these wool slippers.
I started with 100% wool, knitted intentionally over-sized. Then I ran them through the washing machine and dryer, using full heat to shrink and stiffen them. At the end, I stitched on the leather soles to help them last longer.

I have seen them in person and they look very warm and cozy! Very nicely done!
Those are totally sweet!
I don't think I could take the wool directly on skin though...I suppose I could wear socks underneath them.
I bet you could sell those bad boys for a pretty penny and make some serious dough in the Seattle and Portland markets. :)
Lief, you just hush up now! Or else Bop-op will come up and request a "donation" from Grumpy [the lucky recipient of said warm and cozy sock-boots].
