Join Ryan Mahosky of High Country Fleece for a hands-on workshop where you’ll transform soft, locally sourced alpaca fiber into a cozy pair of handmade slippers!

Using alpaca fiber raised at Big Hat Ranch in McCoy, Colorado, you’ll learn the wet-felting process and work through the steps of shaping and fitting your own slippers. This relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop is a wonderful opportunity to explore a traditional fiber art while creating something practical and unique.

No prior experience is necessary. All materials are included, and you’ll leave with your own handmade pair of alpaca felted slippers.

What’s included

  • Locally raised Colorado alpaca fiber
  • All materials needed to make one pair of slippers
  • Hands-on instruction from Ryan Mahosky of High Country Fleece
