A bit of our felting history:

Lanart pioneered alpaca needle felting in Peru nearly 20 years ago, training a team of artisans in a craft that had traditionally only been practiced with wool. Today, every piece is still authentically handmade by those same skilled artisans—bringing originality, heritage, and genuine alpaca fiber to every little felted critter.
