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 traditional sheep's wool.
Yes, the Esperanza Alpaca Throw is hypoallergenic. Because alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, it is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies to sheep's wool.
This throw is not machine washable. To maintain its quality, we recommend professional dry cleaning only to preserve the integrity of the delicate baby alpaca fibers.
Despite its lightweight feel, alpaca fiber is naturally thermal and provides superior warmth compared to most synthetic or cotton throws. It is designed to trap heat efficiently without feeling heavy or bulky.
The throw measures 50 inches wide by 70 inches high. The 4cm eyelash fringe is included in these dimensions, adding a decorative finish to the edges without compromising the usable surface area.
