This stunning fibre comes from a high-quality Aussie Suri Alpaca. It is a rich velvety shade of Chestnut Brown and is so popular with my reborn doll artist followers that it sells out very quickly! 🥰

I wash, sanitise and condition all my fibre multiple times to produce doll hair of the highest quality. Each bundle is brushed out several times to remove the shorter fibres. This means all the fibre is useable, from the tip right through to the cut end as the fibre under the band is also fully washed.

I band my fibre into smaller sections to create easy-to-handle bundles, this helps to reduce waste as you are not trying to separate hair from bigger bundles and losing half of it in the process. Alpaca fibre comes in a variety of microns but I tend to prefer an average of 23-28 microns which is between kid and yearling Mohair. At this thickness, even if you end up with more than 1 hair in each hole it will not look ‘pluggy’, as each hair is a lot finer than yearling Mohair. Human hair is around 80microns so this will give you an idea of how much finer Alpaca is. 🤗

Even if you prefer to use Mohair on Reborn baby dolls, you will find that Alpaca is the perfect option for those fine hairs around the hairline, for the eyelashes and eyebrows, and also for lanugo, those sweet wispy hairs some babies have on their face. 🥰

This ready-to-use fibre would make lovely hair for many types of dolls including Reborn Baby dolls, BJD’s, Blythe, MH and Minifee. It would also be suitable for Needle felted animals, and as faux hair for Prosthetic makeup and special effects. The fibre is naturally coloured Chestnut Brown so there is no concern over dye bleed. It would undoubtedly produce the most divine baby soft hair. ❤️

 I hope you will choose locally grown and processed natural fibre to help support our Aussies farmers and small business. Doing so will also benefit you with cheaper postage and shorter waiting times which is always a winning combo! 🎉

*NB. Due to the variation of colour and length within each fleece it is recommended that you buy enough fibre for your needs in one purchase as subsequent batches may not match. All photos are taken in daylight to present this fibre as true to colour as possible but with multiple colour variations on electronic device this fleece may appear differently on your screen to what it actually is.

📫 All orders are sent via Australia Post with tracking at the current postal rate. Although I will post your fibre as soon as possible I cannot control the time it takes for Australia Post to deliver. As such I cannot guarantee a delivery time or date. 📬

Thank you for supporting my small business. ☺️ 🌹
