My Wet Felting Process! [Roving alpaca]

Wet Felting in Pictures!

Step 1: Get some fine Alpaca Roving that is clean and with as little guard hair as possible.
[Hat Making2]

Step 2: Wrap the alpaca around a wooden block, head form, flat resist or bowl. Here I show alpaca wrapped around a wooden head block. Using some bubble wrap over the form helps to hold the fiber in place and helps felting latter. I use a fine layer of fiber and multiple layers, usually six!
[Hat Making25]

Step 3: Add some colored wool or dyed fibers to create a design!
[Hat Making3]

Step 4: Add a netting material over your hat to help keep the fibers in place!

[Hat Making4]

Step 5: Add hot soapy water using a spray bottle or I laddle using a small amount placed in the side areas and top last!

[Hat Making5]

Step 6: After the hat is patted, gently rubbed, massaged, and rolled in bubble wrap, I shape it! Vinegar soak it! Rinse it! Dry it! Then it is ready to have needle felted accents added and more shaping.

Benefits of Owning Alpaca!

1: Silky Soft as Cashmere and warmer than wool.

2: Light Weight Warmth that Wicks Moisture.

3: Unlike wool, Not Scratchy and is Hypoallergenic.

4: Stain Resistant and Water Resistant, stays Warm and Dry!

5: Long Lasting and Durable as well as Light Weight.

6: Comes in Twenty-Two Natural Colors and can be dyed to create many other colors.

Caring for Your Alpaca Hat!

Your Alpaca Hat should stay pretty clean and my never need cleaning since it is stain and water resistant but if you find it needs some cleaning, soak the spot to clean in luke warm water with some dish soap or hair soap added. Gently, squeeze the area a few times (Never Rub!) and then soak in clean water and squeeze out excess water gently. Do not soak ornaments such as flowers or leaves that were added to hat as they may change shape. If you have any questions or need minor repairs please e-mail me at www.mmarceauocdjnj@yahoo.com.
