January 16, 2011 How to Make Alpaca Slipper Socks

There is nothing better than alpaca slipper socks on these cold winter days, especially when the floors are cold and you are trying to not turn up the furnace or you have just returned home from time out in frigid weather.

Some knitters use bulky alpaca yarn to knit the slipper socks and then sew them to slippers that can be found at various yarn companies or yarn stores with additional directions for putting them together. You can choose the color of bulky yarn that you would like to use and the color of the slipper which can be quite an advantage.

Those of us who are not knitters have to be a bit more inventive. I decided to use Extreme Alpaca Boot Socks for the sock part although you could use the Extreme Alpaca Socks just as well. I prefer the height of the boot socks. I sewed the Extreme Alpaca Boot Socks to a padded slipper that I found online and used a tapestry needle because of the thickness of the socks and before long I was toasty warm in alpaca slipper socks!

What a great "gift" for any freeze babies and for yourself!
