I had a birthday recently, and by sheer coincidence, on the same day I received a little special surprise.
Rope made from alpaca wool! Courtesy of @mycotropic who is quite lovely. 
The rope is plush, and quite soft. It's not the scratchy kind of wool. I fully intend to be integrating this into some ties and have some thoughts of a couple of new designs around making use of the texture for style and sensation. Stay tuned for those!

A picture of Kat holding up a hank of rope made with alpaca wool, speckled white and tan. They're holding it along the length of their forearm covering most of their tattoos save for some wild grass and jellyfish tentacles. They are wearing a shiny, glimmer sage green nailpolish named devils ivy. Via a mirror, you can also see that they are wearing green cargo pants and socks as well as having a flannel tied around the waist.
