This is my second pair of slippers in beautiful Pishkun by the Farmers Daughter Fibers (the first being my Red Cedar Slippers) and its for good reason! This beautiful pillowy soft wool makes a lovely pair of thick socks or slippers that are light and next-to-skin-soft.

I had the simple idea of a lovely folded cuff that would be perfect for wearing alone of over boots and a well fit and simple foot. I hope you love slipping these on your year round.

Thank you so much for your support of my socks. Please use the tag #borealslippers to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!
