Alpaca fleece is wonderful for felting projects as it is so soft with less of the “tickle factor” of sheep’s wool and as the fibres are hollow it gives an amazingly warm and light finish. Felt is the oldest form of fabric known to mankind and consists of layers of fibre that have been agitated and compressed until the fibres lock together forming a mat. This most versatile of processes shows you how to create flat felt such as a scarf using wet felting techniques. Then after a home cooked lunch, if you are staying for the full day, the opportunity to try your hand at needle felting a picture panel. Having learned the basics you can easily practise your skills at home with fibre and kits available to buy on the day.
And if your interest is piqued, we offer more advanced courses moving on to making 3d wet felted items such as hats and slippers.
