One of the things I noticed when I bought some Llama wool recently and awhile back, is that there isn't always truth in advertising. They both said they were clean and with little vegetable matter "vm" and yet the first one I purchased ended up being filthy and so coarse it just isn't usable to me. The second came as roving and is so beautifully soft that I made this felted dress from it. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough and am having to add here and there to re-felt in places. I guess I'll have to learn to ask a lot of questions and check it right away instead of just putting it in the drawer for a later project.


If anyone would like the coarse Llama, please leave me a message and we'll get it out to you.

Well after much needle felting and re-felting the Nuno Felt Dress is done and I love it!
Here's a picture for you.

I'd add the full length, but for some reason it won't turn right side up and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!!

I'm now fixing up my new fully felted Llama dress I just made recently. I'm adding textures and goodies to it to really make it look good.

I've put up 15% off coupons on both my shops for Christmas!! www.etsy.com/shop/FearlessFiberworks and www.etsy.com/shop/amberdark

I hope all the Black Friday shoppers had fun. I gather it is only in the US as we don't have that here in Canada. We have Boxing Day, the day after Christmas when the stores offer big discounts on merchandise, so maybe that is the same thing??
