Ok, here is my first pair. They kind of felted up furry, lol. But that's ok. I just used Lion Brand Fisherman wool... worked pretty good. And I dyed the orange and the green with kool aid

I found the sizing to be a bit on the small side. For my 10yo I had to use the woman's size 8 and for my 5yo (size 9 toddler) I used the grade school size 10-1. But, now that I know what size I need to use, I'm going to knit up a ton of these, lol

Those are really cute! I love the colors. Anyway, as for the fuzziness, I have found taht it is typical of felting. I use a razor to smooth it out.
