Graduation Alpaca Sculpture

This adorable limited edition 2024 Graduation Alpaca stands 6.5" tall and is made entirely by hand. It is ready to celebrate one of life's greatest accomplishments. Each little face is sewn and created with love and you can choose between pearl and fawn fur. The graduation alpaca comes with assorted cap embellishments and tassel colors. The custom hats are placed at an angle to add to the adorable appearance of the alpaca's face. The alpaca is finished with a loop for hanging or may stand. Due to the handcrafting 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 plus alpaca and lamb needle felting kits. Please call us at 877-Alpacas (877-257-2227) for more information.
