Our alpaca throw blankets are handwoven using traditional techniques in the rural highlands of Peru, where alpaca wool has been woven into textiles for thousands of years. Alpaca wool is a natural and sustainable fiber that is known for its softness, warmth, and durability. In the Andean region, alpacas are an important part of the cultural sustainability and their wool has been used for centuries to create textiles that are both functional and beautiful. The tradition of alpaca wool weaving in Peru dates back to pre-Columbian times. Over time, the art of weaving alpaca wool became more refined, and regional styles and techniques developed that are still practiced today. Our artisan partners use traditional techniques to weave the wool into a soft and luxurious blanket. The colors of the throws are natural, and do not contain dye. Creating beautiful throws and textiles helps to preserve the rich tradition of alpaca wool weaving in the Andean region. We take pride in ensuring that each blanket meets high standards of quality. You will want one for every room.

The process of creating each throw is traditional technique that has been passed down for generations. It begins with the careful selection of local alpaca wool. The wool is then washed, carded, and spun. Throws are not dyed, they are made of natural colors of alpaca. Finally, the artisans use looms to weave the wool into a soft and luxurious blanket.
