When I did boots we had to make a samples to the thickness we wanted the boots. Then no only calculate the shrinkage but calculate the weight of wool need for the project, using the square inches of the whole boot. I did the same for my Kap Merino sample. Now I just calculate the square and multiply by a weight of 1 sq.cm. I think it's easier way for any carded wool.

Ann, did you ever finish those boots? I remember you had time scale problems as the instructions ran out v. quickly.

No I haven't got back to them. It's a big job and I need to be in the right mood. having them not work properly twice lost me my enthusiasm for them. I did order more wool for them. I think I will give them a try again in the summer.
