About this Product

These bright and cheerful infant slippers are hand knit in a self striping wool yarn. This yarn creates a bit of interest in subtle color changes. I have added a decorative wood button, which has also has a touch of glue on the thread for security. The foot length is about 3", with a bit of give; fits on average, preemie to 2 months. A wonderful baby shower gift; no need to wrap as each pair comes in an organza gift bag!
As these are made from soft and cozy wool, gentle hand washing in tepid water is recommended to avoid shrinking. Squeeze dry in a towel, then air dry.

Thanks for stopping by! You can also visit my website for New Earth Designs and Lib Callaway patterns. . .there are over 500 to choose from! i'm looking forward to 2023. . in April i'm teaching at MD Shores again. . a wonderful ocean front event. Contact Pam at lpt219@comcast.netAlso there is the ATHA 1 rug school in Sturbridge, MA. . uhookrugs@yahoo.com is the contact email.For over 50 years, I have been immersed in all facets of traditional rug hooking. . . ..from dyeing to teaching; designing patterns and colour planning them. From my own dye formulas, I dye yards over neutrals, pastels, and textures. . .thus creating hundreds of variations. Spot dyeing is another specialty, and I routinely keep 200 different ones on hand. All hooked items are made by hand hooking strips of my hand dyed wool that I've chosen for the piece. Once i choose a Lib or New Earth design, I print it on to a backing, usually linen. The older ones I've made are on burlap, as that was commonly used until the late 1980's. The rugs are finished off with wool yarn whipped over cording, and binding tape applied to the back.I first learned to hook in 1971, became a certified teacher in 1979, and have been "on the road" teaching since 1989. Hope to meet you soon at a rug school!

Meet the Maker

I have always been attracted by colour and artistry, and enjoy working with fiber, paints, dyes and wool. I became a rug hooker in 1971, and for over 30 years it has been my occupation. As a certified instructor, I travel several times a year to teach this art. . and for it I dye wools, design and print patterns and hook as often as I can! Here will be finished items for sale, and eventually some dyed wools as well that are currently on Etsy. And perhaps a few other items as well!
