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

Loraine said...

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...
