Join me on this amazing journey! Felt hat tutorial! Making a felt hat from alpaca fiber grown on our off grid farm. From start to finish! Starting with carding the fiber on the drum carder. Then stacking layers of fiber. Then wet felting! From using a bowl as a resist to a hat shaper! And a beautiful hat at the end and a very happy hat client! We raise over 60 alpacas on our farm. And we don't send any fiber out to mills for processing. I hand wash all the fiber myself and then transform it into wearable art through felt making. *Pls subscribe* Thank you!
