What a fun afternoon at our Frog Needle Felting Class! 🐸💚

Everyone’s frogs turned out so unique and full of personality, and there were lots of smiles and laughs around the table as the projects came to life. It’s always amazing to see how differently each person interprets the same instructions, materials, and techniques.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Alpaca Meadows for another creative afternoon of fiber art fun!

Our next class will be a beautiful Flower Wet Felting Class on June 13th 🌸
Learn how to create soft felted flowers using wool, warm water, soap, and simple wet felting techniques. These flowers can be used for pins, hats, bags, wreaths, gift toppers, and more.

A little burst of blue happiness on this rainy day! 💙

This whimsical needle felted blue bird was handcrafted one tiny poke at a time using Corriedale wool and stuffed with alpaca fiber from our alpacas here at Alpaca Meadows. Inspired by the cheerful bluebirds that brighten spring and summer days, this little bird is full of handmade charm and woodland personality.

At approximately 5 1/2 inches tall, it makes a sweet shelf sitter, thoughtful gift for bird lovers, or cozy addition to cottage and woodland decor.

Available now in our Farm Store in Mansfield, Ohio, and our Etsy shop!

“Keeping his hands to himself when engaging with alpaca Willow.”

John and Jennifer Ely of Sage Bluff Alpacas (Prosser, Washington) shared this wonderful example of a child interacting respectfully with their alpacas. Calm behavior, observation, appropriate space, and hands to himself — rather than grabbing or chasing — help build trust, and alpacas notice the difference.

This was not a coincidence. Jennifer and John applied Camelidynamics principles consistently within their alpaca herd. They also taught visitors how to engage appropriately with their alpacas.

One of the goals of Camelidynamics is to help humans understand how camelids perceive movement, pressure, space, and interaction — so both people and animals can feel more confident and secure.

Want to learn how to cultivate this kind of reciprocal trust with your herd? Book into one of our clinics, do our online courses, read the book Camelid Companion, or find Certified Camelidynamics consultants near you.
