This is the first video in a how-to series about fist-supported finger-secured braiding ("fistbraiding"). The video shows how to get started and covers a simple spiral.
Alpaca can be used. But alpaca, as any wool, can vary a lot in quality. And softer wools are not very well suited for this type of braiding. They tend to rip while tightening. I recommend to make a small sample and then decide.

what type of string are you using? I was thinking of using alpaca wool but is it too soft?
Do you think you could also make a tutorial on how to weave the sling pouch?
