Yes, many animal fibres will felt, including long hair dog, cats, rabbit, poodle, etcNot all sheep wool will felt - it depends on the kind of fibre it isBe aware that although there are llamas and alpaca in South America, that does not mean that local people will have yarn made from that fibreYou will find many stores ONLY sell brightly coloured acrylicThis is for the same reason why we can't find any good apples here, even though they grow in our backyardAll the best product is always sold for other parts of the world, and we have all the left-overs no one else wants, or get it from somewhere else.
