Needle felting is a dry felting method.  It is quick and easy, and inexpensive, requiring very few tools and taking up very little space. You can needle felt when you have just a few spare minutes or for hours on end.

At this hands-on workshop you will meet the llamas and alpacas that are providing their fleece for your project.

You will make:

  • A cute 3 dimensional llama or alpaca from alpaca fibre
