They worked!
I didn't expect my slippers to work - they were so huge and blobby and they weren't shrinking as quickly as I expected...but third wash and rinse was a charm.
Flat knitted pieces, before sewing up and felting.
Finished - sewn into footbags, and then felted. The lopi yarn is shedding a lot of longish hairs and fuzz, but I'm hoping that passes.
I can see the advantage of 'shearing' a felted fabric now (the way medieval cloth was felted, sheared, felted sheared again) in a way I hadn't before.
I posted them on Ravelry, if you're a Rav-ist (membership has its privileges).
