Alpaca Throw Blanket - Deep Purples

Description

Ethically hand-crafted in Ecuador from sustainably sourced, premium alpaca wool blend fibers.

Handwoven in the highlands of Otavalo, Ecuador by a family of four artisans who have practiced this craft for generations. Every thread is placed with care — the deep purple mineral stripes are hand-mapped and aligned with quiet precision before the weave is even finished.

After leaving the loom, each throw is brushed by hand using dried seed pods from the native teasel plant — a technique used for centuries to open up the alpaca fibers and bring out their natural softness and subtle sheen. Edges are hand-sewn. The finished piece is pressed with a traditional wooden block.

Lightweight but genuinely warm. Breathable and built to last. Drapes easily over a sofa, reading chair, or the foot of a bed — and gets softer with every use.
