    Just to clarify: this is Suri alpaca fleece, it would've been good to have specified this in the video as there is more than one type of alpaca fiber and they can get confused. This fiber is long and silky, but other types such as Huacaya are short and fluffy

    Thank you so much for all of this!! You are so incredibly talented! I've been very sick for months and while I'm bedridden I've become so bored with everything else I used to do in my free time. Just very grateful to have such expert help in this new hobby I'm taking up. Keep up the great work, and know that it is appreciated!

    One thing you could do to get your fiber for wigs is go to a yarn shop, they usually have a selection of fibers etc for reasonable prices I use lots of different fibers to make wigs for my needle felted and crocheted dolls they usually sell fiber by the ounce which is nice :) also im a big fan of your videos and I wouldnt mind sending you some of my raw alpaca fiber I have about 22 pounds of raw alpaca fleece in my garage and have more than I can do anything with

  • @blackfeathercrafts
    @blackfeathercrafts 9 лет назад +2

    I have 40 pounds of unprocessed from my local farmer. Washing and drying is a bit of a pain. Then it has to be carded after.
    I'm still not complaining though. I bartered for it. :)
    I can't wait for your next video!

    So, how much alpaca fiber would you probably need to make a medium length wig for, say, a MH doll? I'm curious about how much you'd have to buy for one wig.

  • @theknittingspiderboutique4673
    @theknittingspiderboutique4673 8 лет назад

    The fiber definately needs to be combed though and its not super long so the combing will combine the fibers making them a lot longer and easier to use for doll hair

    If at all possible I'd love to get a reply to my question ^^'. "Approximately how many processed grams/oz of alpaca fiber does it take to make a MH alpaca wig?" ○.○
    I'm trying to make an alpaca fiber wig, however am uncertain about the necessary amount of fiber. As the processed product isn't cheap I would only wish to order the needed amount ^^.
    Another wonderful video by the way, and congratulations on the eBay lising for your custom repaint ;).

  • @woodina0686
    @woodina0686 7 лет назад

    if I wanted to make an extra long wig, would alpaca be an option? Or does it not come 16" or longer as an option? Is this impossible? If so, what type of fibre should I be looking for that will allow me to dye it crazy colours like alpaca does? Thanks

    • @NicollesDreamsShop
      @NicollesDreamsShop  7 лет назад

      So far I only ever needed a max on 12 inches for my alpaca wigs, I never looked into finding longer locks so I am not entirely sure if that would be possible. I also can't suggest an alternative that would be longer and have the same properties sorry. Since I found alpaca I just stuck with it since it gave me all I needed.

    I have sheep with really beautiful wool, so I've saved most of it to clean.
    I guess wool works just as well as alpaca hair?

      +Fellefan Foxjade I never used wool but technically it should work

      then I shall give it a try! can't lose anything on it when the wool comes from my back yard.

    • @NicollesDreamsShop
      @NicollesDreamsShop  8 лет назад

      +LPScoolKat not sure, it depends on many factors such as the style of the wig, length, are you buying raw or processed, will you have to dye your hair etc.

    @davdrock2224 6 лет назад

    Andreja, how much alpaca do you use to make reroot in a Monster High doll? I'm thinking of making two dolls that I have, but I have no idea how much I should use in each ... 1 ounce would be enough for each MH?

    • @NicollesDreamsShop
      @NicollesDreamsShop  6 лет назад +1

      I do not do reroots so I cannot give you a number sorry. I only make wigs which is a completely different method than rerooting.

    Hi! I'm looking for some raw alpaca to work on it, but the one I bought is way too short for what I wanted :/ And I can't find any like the one you show on the video. Any clue? :*

    • @NicollesDreamsShop
      @NicollesDreamsShop  9 лет назад

      Pasjodesufrir did you try checking the shops that I mention in the video? Last time I checked all of them offered long alpaca locks. But I always make sure to read the description and check the length, if there is no info I would not buy any.

    • @Hanahanako6
      @Hanahanako6 9 лет назад

      Yes, I've checked them all, and for the fiber I already have, it's just that not all of it is the same length. I'll watch the shops you give in the video, maybe they are out of stock now or something. Thanks!!

  • @CatHatter

      Kelly G Ben je Nederlands? Ik had het toen over marktplaats, dr zijn alpaca houders die hun wol daar verkopen..... ik heb het uiteindelijk nooit geprobeerd omdat ik toch twijfelde, het is allemaal super onbewerkt dus ik denk dat het heel veel tijd en moeite kost om het goed te krijgen 😅 Daarom kost haar alpacawol vast ook zo veel. Maar ik weet het niet zeker :')
