Orca Killer Whale – Felted Alpaca Sculpture
Part of our Ocean Life collection

The orca, or killer whale, is the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family and one of the most recognizable marine mammals on Earth. With its striking black-and-white markings and powerful presence, the orca has captivated our imaginations for generations.

Our Felted Orca Killer Whale is handcrafted from luxurious alpaca fiber and designed to reflect the graceful power and unique coloring of this majestic species. Each sculpture is part of our Ocean Life collection—a tribute to the extraordinary animals that inhabit the world’s waters.

Inspired by nature and informed by our collaborations with rescues, preserves, and marine research organizations, we craft each orca with deep respect and attention to detail. These pieces aim to educate and inspire—whether the species is endangered or thriving.

Each orca is one-of-a-kind, with slight variations that make your piece uniquely yours. Made with love, designed to spark awe.

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. Please call us at 877-Alpacas (877-257-2227) for more information.
