Women's knitted slippers Alaska

These women's slippers are knitted of white 100% Alaskan Malamute underfur. The underfur is spinned with sewing reinforced thread and rubbered into 2 threads. For more softness and comfort merino wool is added. Such combination of natural materials gives soft, fluffy and elastic yarn.

А new technique is used for knitting such kind of items. The slippers resemble in slight and fluffy half-socks or half-sneakers, which sit tightly on the foot, don't fold back or slip off that may be usual for such items. These qualities are important for modern human's needs. The slippers will suit for high boots with a narrow instep as they don't have collars, but warm just as well as the socks. The work can be easily wear with boots, tennies, men's shoes etc. The slippers suit well also for any kind of house footwear. That is how a long-out-to-date accessory caught its second wind.

These slippers are knitted with 'tail' pattern. It has some advantages. Firstly, it looks great. 'Tail' pattern will adorn every work if yarn is straight, not thick, and the work is knitted closely. But there is another advantage - 'tail' pattern implies combination of front and back side mashes which creates ribbing effect. It's one of the best choices for slippers, socks, gaiters, knee socks, mittens, fingerless gloves and other tight-fitting works. A foot can be narrow and wide of the same size. This means slippers knitted with 'tail' pattern will fit for both variants. This point is of no small importance for any knitted work.

The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
