Know before you buy
Baby alpaca refers to the finest grade of alpaca fiber, which is exceptionally soft and lightweight. It is significantly softer than standard wool and lacks the prickliness often associated with sheep's wool, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
This throw is not machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the handwoven fibers, you should never wash it; professional dry cleaning is recommended if the blanket becomes stained.
While the throw is lightweight, baby alpaca fiber is naturally insulating and provides substantial warmth. It is designed as an all-season piece, offering cozy comfort without the bulk of a heavy wool blanket.
The throw features a striped pattern where each stripe utilizes a unique weaving technique. This creates a varied, plush texture throughout the piece, giving it a sophisticated, artisanal look rather than a uniform, mass-produced finish.
No, the Cascada Alpaca Throw is not reversible. The intricate striped pattern and unique weaving techniques are designed to be displayed on the front side.
The main body of the throw measures 70 inches long by 50 inches wide. Including the hand-knotted fringe, the total length is 77 inches.
