Wolf: Felted Alpaca Sculpture

This Wolf is a spectacular piece. It is felted using alpaca fiber that is hand painted for beautifully natural coloring. Each piece is made one at a time, so may take up to 4 weeks for delivery.

A collection that fosters creativity and imagination. This little one is carefully made with attention to detail. He is made entirely by hand, proudly stands a few inches tall, and is made with hand painted and natural alpaca fiber. This fantasy figure is perfect as a gift for yourself or for the collector in your life. Sculptures are finished with a loop for hanging. Due to the hand crafting process, each piece is unique with slight variations.

What Is Alpaca Fiber? 

Alpaca was once considered a gift from the gods and the most important relic of Incan history. Alpacas are in the camelid family, sharing the most genetic material with the vicuña. They are one of the four South American camelids. 

The two breeds of alpacas are: the Huacaya and the Suri. The types of fiber harvested from each of these breeds are equally prized for different reasons. Fiber derived from alpacas varies in weight depending on how it is spun, making it ideal for a number of different kinds of products. Compared to sheep’s wool, alpaca fiber is considerably softer, and more durable.

About Needle Felting? 

Needle felting is a dry felting method typically using wool with its barbs that felt quickly and easily. However, we use alpaca for a softer and more artistic effect. Our crafters have mastered this art form and now use this media for sculptures, flat art, and clothing embellishments.   

Fiber artists can needle felt for a few moments or for days at a time. This relaxing craft is now available to everyone. We offer both finished sculptures and needle felting kits. Please call us at 877-Alpacas (877-257-2228) or click here for more info on DIY projects.
