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.

Camel Hair Roving | Soft 20mic Camel Down in Fawn & Hazelnut

Our camel hair roving is wonderfully soft, with all coarse fibres removed to leave only the fine, downy undercoat. With an approximate fineness of 20 microns, it is comparable to merino in feel — smooth, warm and gentle on the skin.

Camel down drafts beautifully. It naturally keeps your hands dry while spinning, preventing the fibre from clumping and allowing it to flow smoothly from your hand.

Camel hair can also be used for felting, though it performs best when blended with wool for added structure.
