Lost Crafts – using Alpaca Fleece
3 March 2012
Glynda Bluhm of 'Alpaca Magic' tells us people often say that you
can't spin (or felt) alpaca fibre. Not only can this be done, but it is a simple craft to master.
Alpaca Magic runs alpaca fibre craft workshops for beginners, and more experienced crafts people, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Participants also meet the alpacas and llamas which have provide their fleece to use.
Each workshop has only a small number of students to ensure plenty of personalized attention, and include several different types of felting classes, spinning, knitting & crocheting. Each class provides all materials and materials.
Alpaca & Llama fibre comes in a wide variety of colours, but can also be dyed in vibrant colours hence the workshop "Colours to Dye For".
