    alpaca looks so fine and delicate!
    is it softer than other regular wood felt??

    it is very soft
    and the fine fibers give it a soft glow around the edges

    merino is very soft as well , just different and fibers don't peep out.
    it depends on how long you felt it also .

    hi loraine,
    are you knitting & then felting, or just felting fibers or woven fabric??
    (i find that after felting a knitted alpaca piece, it gets softer to the touch...)

    how are you??
    it's been a while since we chatted...
