MORE FELTING USING ALPACA WOOL
Well, we just can't contain ourselves or our alpaca wool projects. We love experimenting and learning new ways to use our alpaca fleece. Wet felting and needle felting projects just keep popping out of our alpaca fiber. So...we added this page to offer new projects for you to try.
But first here are some
tips
to make your wet felting projects turn out better.
You can easily prepare your fiber by
carding alpaca wool
with hand carders.
Our first project for this page is a
felted purse.
You can make it by just wet felting your wool and minor sewing or you can add needle felting to avoid sewing (our choice!).
Want to make elegant scarfs or other fiber that's soft and drapable? Try

We love making wet felted cutout designs. They can be made so that it is a very unique piece of art or just a simple design. Learn about wet felting a
