This is a quick tip addition to my longer needle felted angel tutorial :) If you need a bit more info on how to source and prep the Suri alpaca locks to use for your felted angels- I offer a few tips here.
Our sweet little Milano is getting his first shearing at 20 weeks old. He is eating treats and is completely unrestrained. He did really well and will be nice and cool for the hot Texas summer!
Baby alpaca fleeces are very sweet and delicate, so I'm taking my time to carefully shear him so I can save his beautiful fleece. There isn't much to shear, but it's precious to me :)
Enjoy!

Kiara is my most challenging suri alpaca in terms of attitude- but she was quite good this year to my surprise. Enjoy!

Howdy :) I got a cool question the other day about kits and decided to share my needle felting kit creation process and just chat away on this. I share what my felted fox kit looks like, how I designed the fox and the process from idea to an actual kit I sell on Etsy. At the end I share my first kits I made which look very simple! Then I kind of digress and get lost :) But oh well- enjoy the part that you like and skip over the rest! lol

I hand shear all of my Suri alpacas and wasn't planning to do any shearing videos this year- but as I started shearing Weston, I just had to capture how beautiful his fleece was coming off and how absolutely calm and amazing this little guy was for his very first shearing ever! I only had my phone and was shearing by myself today, so the video isn't the best, but hope you can enjoy and see what a FUN good shearing looks like!
I was just sitting on a 5 gallon bucket and letting the fleece fall into my lap! Little Weston was actually the most skitish baby out of the group so I really wasn't sure what to expect from him. Super surprised and thrilled.
This one isn't a good demo on how to hand shear Suri alpacas- I have more of those and a step by step kind on my channel. Look for the one with Tiffany (she's a cute white alpaca! ahhahaha, sorry, not a good clue!)
Anyway- if all of my alpacas could be like him, that would be a dream! But- I do have some with more attitude and personalities!!!! Still- it's all good and I love spending time with them and hand shearing my kiddos.
Have an amazing day! www.WisteriaSuriRanch.com

Learn how to needle felt a cute little hedgehog in about 10 minutes with this step by step tutorial. At the end there's a little bonus section that shows you how I make the green forest pad for the little hedgehogs. This is a great beginner project due to ease and minimal materials. You will need a felting foam, felting needle, a few grams of core wool, a little bit of grayish hedgehog color, teeny bit of brown for the ears, and a pinch of black for the eyes and nose.
If you enjoy my videos and want to keep cheering me on to make more, please give it a like, say hello in the comments, and subscribe :) My channel is both a how to needle felt/fiber stuff plus alpaca animal care.
