Alpacas are in the camelid family, sharing the most genetic material with the vicuña. They are one of the four South American camelids. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Needle Felting? \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeedle 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.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiber artists can needle felt for a few moments or for days at a time.
