Posts: 16Hi all, I have just got my hands on ( and can get more ) a massive bag of Alpaca fleece....not spun just shawn off ....any ideas what I can use it for? ....Its incredibly soft !

Posts: 16Ok ....I just read that I can needle felt with this alpaca wool....anyone give me any tips on using it ? 
If it's been washed, you can use it for stuffing.

Oh you can use Alpaca fleece for lots of things - did you ever try drop spinning?
I enclose a link to a wonderful website with tons of information about Alpacas:
Everything you ever wanted to know about Alpacas 
Take a bit time to look around...
Have fun, I am looking forward to use my spinning wheel again...

Woolly BearsYou can felt it, its quite soft! Or you could wet felt it, although it would be better if you can card it (you can use wire dog combs), or combe it with a close pronged combe, like a horse mane combe!
It felts very nice and is so soft... Dont wast it of stuffing, its too expensive for that!!
Have fun, i also get alpaca fleece and i have a lot of fun with it. ENJOY
Oh, I use alpaca fleece for making doll wigs, but you need to wash and comb it witch much care.
And of course it can be felted!!
