Otter and Baby Felted Alpaca | Handcrafted Fair Trade

Celebrate the tender bond between parent and pup with this Otter with Baby Wildlife Felted Alpaca Sculpture. Each piece is artistically needle-felted by expert artisans in Arequipa, Peru, capturing the sleek form, natural markings, and gentle expression of these semiaquatic mammals from the Lutrinae subfamily.

Crafted from certified alpaca fiber—renowned for being softer and more durable than sheep’s wool—this sculpture brings a warm, tactile presence to shelves, nurseries, and nature-inspired spaces. As part of our wildlife collection, it honors the rich diversity of species that form the web of life, from the Arctic to Africa.

Why Alpaca?

• Luxuriously soft & durable: Alpaca fiber is prized for its smooth handfeel and long-lasting beauty.
• Natural aesthetic: Artisans emulate authentic colors and markings for a lifelike look.
• Heritage material: Alpaca has deep roots in Andean culture and craftsmanship.

About Needle Felting

Needle felting is a dry felting technique that interlocks fibers with specialized barbed needles. While wool is commonly used, our artisans work with alpaca fiber to achieve a softer, more sculptural finish—ideal for expressive wildlife forms.
