I have been working on this slipper for a while now, it is the old Patons Knick Knacks one which uses 14 ply wool knitted on size 4mm needles. As 14 ply isn't readily available anymore I use 2 strands of 8 ply doubled and also knit the front part in the round to eliminate the bulky seam. They are a fun knit and great for using up those extra couple of balls of yarn that we all seem to have lying around.

How much wool did they use? I got some 16 ply from the BWM backroom, if it is enough these could be a great way to use it.
Dare I show my age by saying "groovy"? (Mind you, I was a slip of a thing when the word came into 'fashion'!)
They are great and it is slipper weather!!!
The slippers look great. They must be very warm since it's 16ply !
Tassie Rachel they use 2 x 50g balls held doubled.
The slippers look lovely and cosy.
