FELTING CLASSES Barron Hill Alpacas offers classes in felting as well as felted one of a kind products for sale. Feltmaking has a rich history that dates back to the nomads of Asia and Mongolia, the soldiers of Rome and the Warriors of China. In Scandinavia felt is believed to have been used since the Iron age. In todays world there is a revival of interest for the fiber artist who enjoys working with textiles. Felting can bring instant gratification as a project can be accomplished in just a few hours producing a usable garment. These garments are versatile and strong, hard-wearing and warm.
