The Kemp's Ridley Australian Sea Turtle is a handcrafted alpaca sculpture, representing one of the seven species of sea turtles found across the world. This ornament is part of our beautiful sea life collection, inspired by the diverse marine animals that inhabit our planet's waters. With meticulous attention to detail, we aim to capture the unique characteristics, shapes, and colors of these majestic creatures. We are proud to collaborate with rescues, preserves, and societies dedicated to studying and protecting sea turtles, and we are passionate about educating others through our creations. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, with slight variations, and crafted with love.
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.
