Spirit-Marked Alpaca Heart Hat

$225.00

I was born wild.

My fibers were once wrapped around the warm, wandering body of an alpaca who loved to roll in every patch of earth she could find. Dust, straw, burrs, tiny twigs—memories of her wandering still cling to me in the invisible places. When I was cleaned, picked, and coaxed into form, the process wasn’t easy. Alpaca fibers like mine don’t lock quickly. We resist, we slip, we dance. It takes patience to persuade us into becoming something new.

The heart on my front was laid into me with dyed sheep’s wool, pulled and shaped until it looked like ink drawn by a steady, human hand. A broken heart, yes—but split in a way that lets the light in. The crosses that radiate outward are not wounds but anchors: symbols of spirit, protection, and the paths that connect the living to the unseen.

I stand tall—six inches in my crown—with a soft three-inch brim that bends and moves with you. I am large. I fit a 22 to 23 inch head. I’m shaggy, flexible, and unrefined in the most intentional way. I carry the softness of alpaca, the resilience of wool, and the story of hands that brought me into being. Wear me when you want to feel guarded, grounded, and a little bit feral.

This alpaca hat is part of my ongoing Broken Heart Series, a body of work born from grief, resilience, and the spiritual transformation that followed. Alpaca brings an entirely different energy to my work: it is soft, loose, playful, and wild—much like the animal it came from. Cleaning and picking alpaca is an adventure in itself. They roll in everything, so their fleece arrives full of seeds, straw, dirt, burrs, and the story of the land they live on. That wildness becomes part of the material.

Alpaca is also notoriously difficult to felt; the fibers are straight and silky, refusing to grab onto each other the way sheep’s wool does. The process takes extra time, pressure, and intention, but the final texture is worth it—airy, shaggy, flexible, and beautifully organic.

The heart design on this hat is made from hand-dyed sheep’s wool. I shaped it to mimic hand-drawn ink lines, creating a raw, expressive, emotional mark. The crosses that break outward from the heart symbolize spiritual connection and divine protection, continuing the themes that run through my Broken Heart Series.

This hat stands 6 inches tall with a 3-inch brim, amd in inner circumference of 23 inches. It is soft, warm, and wonderfully unique—an art piece with the laid-back spirit of alpaca and the emotional depth of hand-felted wool.
