ALPACA HAT CLASS -- MONTA VISTA, CO Sept 25, 2009

Wanda Smith of D&W Fiber Farm in Monta Vista, CO organized a two day felting workshop. I taught hat felting the first day and nuno scarves the next, in Wanda's awesome sun porch/fiber studio. There was lots of interest and enthusiasm....and we all had a great time! Thanks Wanda!


Alpaca fiber is layed out over a 'resist'.


Eve, Barbara, Jan, Wanda and Michelle applied hot soapy water to the first side.


The second side is wrapped and thoroughly wet down.


A screen protects the fibers while the felting is done with a Tupperware lid.

The hats are fulled around hat forms and ready to wear as soon as they're dry!
