Can you curl alpaca?
Permalink   


I just got it and LOVE the feel of it. It is straight and I was hoping to be able to create one of those little top curls on the newborn reborn. If i wet it and let it dry around something would it curl?

If you have a Cub Foods or drug store, they usually carry it too. It's great stuff and it doesn't seem to leave white powder or any residue after it's dry and you comb the hair.

In answer to your question... yes, Alpaca is like angora, mohair, etc... "real" hair, just not human. Yes, you can wet it thoroughly and then wrap it around something, let it dry and have a curl that way also. Maybe wrap it around a pencil or pen or something similar after you wet it, then put a nylon knee hi on it to hold till it's very dry. Then slide the pencil out and voila! you have a curl. :D
