Alicia Marshall is in the business of raising happy alpacas and making the best hand felted products possible from their fiber. Her ranch, Moondance Alpacas is located on 35 acres in the foothills of beautiful Littleton, Colorado. They made the strategic decision early on that instead of breeding alpacas, they would raise alpacas for their incredible fiber, then design and produce exquisite felted products from it. Moondance Alpacas is a company that strongly believes in using natural resources to create artistic, functional goods with exceptional craftsmanship. The art of felting is something Alicia is extremely passionate about and enjoys teaching others the craft as well.
