Alpaca Fiber is Soft and does not itch! 

Picture

There's something magical about knitting something that starts out looking pretty huge and awkward and ends up being a completely different fabric after spending some time in the washing machine. Each and every Whidbey Woolie Hat & Scarf is hand-knit using alpaca fiber before the felting process. 

The best thing about using alpaca fiber for felting is that you will create a fabulously soft, warm, lightweight, durable product. If you use alpaca fleece instead of sheeps' wool, you will have less "prickle factor". Most people that can't wear sheeps' wool, can wear alpaca.
