Know before you buy
Baby alpaca refers to the finest grade of alpaca fiber, which is exceptionally soft, lightweight, and warmer than sheep's wool. It is prized for its silky feel and durability, making it a premium choice for high-end textiles.
Because of the delicate nature of 100% baby alpaca wool, this throw must be dry cleaned only. Avoid washing it at home to prevent shrinking or damaging the natural fibers.
While the throw is remarkably lightweight, alpaca fiber is naturally hollow, which provides excellent thermal insulation. It is designed to be cozy and warm without the bulk of a heavy traditional wool blanket.
Yes, the throw measures 70 inches in length, with an additional 5 inches of hand-knotted fringe on each end. This detail adds a decorative, artisanal finish to the overall dimensions.
The cream color is a warm, natural off-white tone. It is designed to complement a variety of interior palettes without being a stark, clinical white.
