Monarch Butterfly Felted Alpaca Sculpture

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown. Our Monarch Butterfly is made in soft alpaca fiber with attention to shape, markings, and colors. Our expert needle felters have years of expertise in this craft. Due to the hand crafting process, each piece is original with slight variations. We finish the each one with a loop for hanging or it may flutter about in her new home.

The monarch butterfly is one of the most recognizable and well studied butterflies on the planet. Its orange wings are laced with black lines and bordered with white dots. Famous for their seasonal migration, millions of monarchs migrate from the United States and Canada south to California and Mexico for the winter. (nationalgeographic.com/monarch-butterfly)

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.
