Hedgehog Needle Felting Class
Saturday, July 27, 2019 - Saturday, July 27, 2019
Mansfield, OH
Create an adorable little hedgehog and learn the art of needle felting. Using a nylon knee high filled with alpaca stuffing, students will learn to wrap alpaca wool roving around it to create the shape. Other techniques include the rolling technique using a felting stick, for the face, ears, and leg shapes. Mohair is used to suggest spines for this cute, stylized hedgehog.
Did you know that the spiny covering of a hedgehog is used as a defense mechanism? The hedgehog is covered by short, thick spines which are permanently attached to its skin, unlike a porcupine with quills that will dislodge. These spines usually lie flat and harmless -- so much so that it is possible to pet a hedgehog. When threatened, hedgehogs will roll into a tight ball so their spines protrude and their hands, feet and faces are tucked away.
Needle felting is an easy-to-learn technique, that is not hard but does take time and lots of poking with a barbed needle, to shape and sculpt the natural fiber. Come and see what you can create with a needle, some alpaca fiber, and a little imagination!
Instruction, felting needles, foam, and all materials are provided and included in the fee for this class. These items are also available to purchase should you wish to do more felting at home.

Mitten Wet Felting Class
Saturday, August 10, 2019 - Saturday, August 10, 2019
Mansfield, OH
Wet felting is one of several methods which can produce felt from alpaca and other animal fibers. Warm soapy water is applied to layers of fiber placed at ninety degree angles to one another. Repeated agitation and compression causes the fibers to hook together into a single piece of fabric. In this class you will be wet felting a pair of the warmest mittens you have ever worn. Felting around a resist, you will be amazed at how a mass of fiber magically becomes an article of clothing custom fit to your own hand ... no knitting or crocheting required! Please bring a towel, a pair of sharp scissors, and a Sharpie. All other materials will be provided.
Read about Wet Felting Alpaca Mittens and Another Fun Alpaca Mitten Class with directions on how to felt two mittens at the same time, and how to crochet or knit a cuff. See pictures from past Mitten Felting Classes.
Can't come to the class? Kits are available to make at home, or give as a gift, complete with illustrated instructions.

Pumpkin Faces Needle Felting Class
Saturday, September 28, 2019 - Saturday, September 28, 2019
Mansfield, OH
“Take a stab” at needle felting and go home with one of these adorable (comical, scary, jovial) pumpkins! Needle felting is the process of using a single barbed needle to repeatedly jab alpaca/wool fibers causing the fiber to tangle and become compact into flat pieces or three-dimensional sculptures. Limited only by your imagination, each person's pumpkin face will have his/her own personality which makes this class a ton of fun! You will learn techniques to enable you to make other three dimensional figures as well.
Most people can handle this class with no trouble, though we will be learning some advanced techniques. If you wish to start out with an easier version of this class, you might want to try the Pumpkin Needle Felting Class.
All materials are included, felting tools and foam surface to work on are provided for use in class. These items are also available to purchase should you want to do more needle felting at home.
Bring a picture of a celebrity or older person with distinguished features for inspiration!

Come and join us for Our Little World Alpacas Annual “Christmas in the Alpaca Barn” on Saturday, Nov 30 and Dec 7, 2019. Our alpacas will be in the barn for this event; come and enjoy an up close and personal look at these wonderful peaceful creatures. You are welcome to come and learn how the alpacas live, their temperament, what they eat and if you are lucky some of our friendliest alpacas may try and steal a kiss so have your camera’s ready. Our Farm store will be open if you are looking for unique gifts for family and friends. We feature products hand made from our own alpaca fiber, as well as unique products from Peru. Alpaca is the gift of warmth. Hand knit hats and scarves, Alpaca Bears & Dolls and the warmest socks you will ever own.

Fort Worth, TX
The 2020 TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular will include competition, education, vendors, silent and live auctions open to the public and more. Once again we will be in the Will Rogers Complex on Lancaster in Fort Worth, TX. Cattle Barns 2 and 3 with the adjoining arena affords us a large and extensive facility that provides a venue that compares with anything in the nation! This event has grown each of the past two years and in 2018 had 325 alpacas, multiple vendors and an extensive array of educational offerings. 2019 expanded on the success of 2018's Walking Fleece competition, grew the performance competition targeting younger competitors and added even more vendors. 2020 will be exploding this success with even more new offerings and opportunities!!
We are getting the word out early so that everyone will block their calendars and be sure to tell all their contacts. Look forward to seeing you there!!
