This super soft, long-haired Alpaca top, carded into a band, is great for spinning and felting. All hairy fibres have been removed and only the very soft fibres remain.

Alpaca fibre is wonderful for felting projects, because it is so soft with less of the “tickle factor” of sheep wool. The fibres are hollow, which gives the yarn an amazingly warm and light finish. Alpaca fibre is also preferred by people, who react allergic to sheep wool, due to no Lanolin present. That, however, isn't always the case and some, especially people with dry skin, will still react to alpaca or any animal fibre.

 Staple length: approx. 10-14cm
