Ooh, thanks. I've knitted one slipper (it looks like a clown shoe) and when I've done the other I will take a pre-felting photo and a post-felting one, so you can see if it's worked. I've made felt bags before, but nothing that needs to fit someone.

Thanks, Ilovecheese.

I thought I'd googled all the possibilities, but didn't think of 'anti-slip sock glue', even though that's exactly what I'm looking for grin

If you Google "liquid latex for slipper socks" instead of just liquid latex, various products come up that seem to be for footwear.
Amazon has one called Anti-slip sock glue.

Has anyone worked with liquid latex? I am knitting slippers to felt, and the pattern says to apply liquid latex to the soles so the wearer doesn't slip on a hard floor - either all over the sole or in decorative dots.

I've googled and looked on Amazon, and there is a lot of latex available for making Halloween costumes - scars, blood etc, and large containers with separate bottles of thickener.

Does anyone know what kind I need, and how to apply it, please? Do I need thickener, and if so, what do I do with it?
