DESCRIPTION

The Lumia Slippers are inspired by snowy nordic winters and are perfect to wear when cozying up by the fire with a hot cup of cocoa and knitting. The name “Lumia” originates from the Finnish word “Lumi” which means snow. These slippers are worked from the top-down and feature an afterthought heel. The stranded colorwork is charted with instructions for two different sizes.
