Know before you buy
Alpaca fiber is significantly softer and smoother than sheep's wool. Because it lacks the lanolin found in wool, it is naturally hypoallergenic and won't cause the itchiness often associated with traditional wool blankets.
Despite its thin and lightweight profile, the alpaca fiber provides superior thermal insulation. It is designed to trap body heat effectively, making it warm enough for winter while remaining breathable for year-round use.
This throw is machine washable, which makes maintenance simple. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water and laying it flat to dry to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
The throw measures 50" x 70", making it an ideal size for draping over a sofa, armchair, or the foot of a bed. Its lightweight construction allows it to drape beautifully over furniture as a decorative accent.
The 40% acrylic blend is included to enhance the durability and shape retention of the throw. This combination ensures the blanket remains soft and silk-like while providing the strength needed for daily use.
