Hand-sew fleece socks are a treat for all feet. They are warm, lightweight and vivid, and they fit flawlessly. Hand knitters have one more choice to make footwear: felted fleece socks. At the point when fleece fiber is machine-washed, it ties together to make a felted texture that is solid as well as warm, and would make incredible boot liners or shoes. In any case, in light of the fact that felting likewise contracts the texture, to make a felted fleece sock that fits, you should weave a sock bigger than expected.
Stage 1
Weave a cylinder for a measure sample. Assuming you believe that the felted sock should fit, this is vital. With your yarn and twofold pointed needles (DPNs) cast on an adequate number of join to make a cylinder around 10 creeps around. Consolidate the fastens all around, and weave a cylinder around 5 inches long. Push off.
Stage 2
Measure the quantity of join and lines per inch. These numbers are your measure. For instance, on the off chance that you cast on 50 fastens to make a circuit of 10 inches, the join measure is five lines for each inch. Assuming you weave 25 lines to make the cylinder 5 inches long, the column check is five columns for each inch.
Record these numbers. Likewise measure the boundary and length of the cylinder and record these aspects.
Stage 3
Put the cylinder in a pillowcase, hitch the case shut and wash in a clothes washer with high temp water and cleanser. Fleece felts with water, grinding and cleanser, so add towels, Levis or even tennis balls to the washer to make more contact during the wash cycle. Wash the cylinder until you obtain an outcome that you like, then, at that point, let it dry totally.
In the event that you can begin and stop your clothes washer, you can check the advancement of the felting during the washing segment, and decide whether it needs seriously felting before the flush cycle. In the event that you can't stop your machine, just let it finish entire cycle.
Stage 4
Measure the cylinder once more and record those estimations.
Stage 5
Compute the fasten and push measure of the felted sample. For instance, assuming that the example tube is currently 8 creeps around, the fasten check subsequent to felting is 6.25 lines per inch. On the off chance that the cylinder is currently 4 inches long, the column check is 6.25 lines per inch.
Stage 6
Measure around the largest piece of your foot and increase this number by the line check subsequent to felting to decide the number of fastens to project on for your sock. For instance, in the event that you believe the felted sock should be 12 creeps around, duplicate 12 and 6.25, the fasten measure in the wake of felting, for a sum of 75 lines to project on.
Stage 7
Utilize the line check subsequent to felting to decide the number of columns to weave for the length of the highest point of the sock and the foot. For instance, for a line measure in the wake of felting of 6.25 columns per inch, to make a sock 8 inches long, you need to weave 50 lines (6.25 x 8).
Stage 8
Sew a couple of socks.
Stage 9
Put the completed fleece socks in the pillowcase and machine wash in steaming hot water with cleanser. Utilize a similar strategy as you did to felt the sample. At the point when the socks are felted the manner in which you like, stuff them gently with paper to shape them, and let them dry totally.
Tip
The ball band of the yarn has recommended needle sizes, fasten and push measure.
Felting is definitely not a precise interaction.
Since fleece contracts more in one course, make certain to decide both line and column measure prior to beginning to weave the sock.
You can't felt launderable fleece or fleece mixed with a synthetic fiber like acrylic, nylon or polyester.
