Product Description
This is Alpaca Batting created from the fleece of alpacas on my farm. It is 45 inches by 72 inches and 700 grams. I decided to add a little medium fawn fleece to the white fleece to create an off white batting. The only processing done is to make the batting, it has not been dyed. It is perfect for making those twin bed quilts or you can cut it in half and make two lap or baby quilts.
The beauty of alpaca is that it is hypoallergenic, flame resistant so it can be used in children's rooms, lightweight yet warm. Your quilts will be thin and flexible as you don't need a large quantity for warmth. You do not have to fear shrinkage when you wash, but please wash your final product on GENTLE and do not put in the dryer.
If you have any left over after making your quilts you can felt it so that you have virtually no waste. You can also pull it apart for roving and spin it into yarn, or even to make art.
Questions are welcome!
Care: Alpaca will felt if agitated. If you are quilting it, use a small fill-in quilt stitch to prevent slipping and felting, then you should be able to machine wash on gentle but do not put in the dryer. You still may want to avoid agitation when washing and then just put it on gentle spin and hang to dry.
