This yarn has an origin story worth knowing. Emre, CEO of Urth Yarns, developed Gusto Wooldorf specifically for his daughters’ Waldorf school the teachers needed a single-ply bulky that would make it easier to teach children to knit. The result is a yarn that’s forgiving, tactile, and genuinely fun to work with at any skill level.

At 85% extrafine merino and 15% mohair, Gusto Wooldorf is lofty, warm, and has exactly the right amount of grab for felting. Which brings us to the real reason most people reach for this yarn: felted slippers. Our Sailor Slippers pattern is one of the most popular projects we recommend available in both knit and crochet versions and this yarn is what makes the felting magic happen.

Works beautifully for:

• Great for felting! Especially the super popular Sailor Slippers (knit) or Felted Slipper Sailor Style (crochet).
• Community Slipper (felted slipper)
• Nr 3 Doble Tofler (felted slippers)
