A Bed Blankets made from Alpaca Wool is the perfect solution if you are looking for a blanket that is softer than wool, snuggly warm and natural.
Alpaca bedding will keep you more comfortable than any other cotton, acrylic or wool bed blanket, because it breathes, keeping you warm - not hot. Many people tell us how they have experienced improved sleeping comfort and ultimately a better night’s sleep.
No bed is complete without this luxury addition. Go-ahead turn down your thermostat! Alpaca is naturally thermal, insulating the animals from the temperature swings that occur in the Andes, -4F at night, to 70+F in the daytime. These thermal properties work for humans too, keeping you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer! Alpaca naturally wicks away moisture, keeping you in your perfect micro-climate while deterring bed bugs and repelling odor.
One night under this blanket, and you'll wonder where has it been all your life?!
Note: Alpaca wool is hypoallergenic, so this throw is ideal for those with allergies.
We strive to craft the finest blankets, period. That starts with the finest alpaca - soft, natural, dye free, expertly woven without the hairy appearance of other alpaca blankets. This means that you and everyone who snuggle under it, will be perfectly cozy and supremely comfortable. The super-fine alpaca fibers we use are expertly woven between micro fine acrylic threads, crafting a blanket that will not only be thermal, it will wash and wear beautifully providing years of enjoyment, without shedding. It is hand finished with a beautiful crochet edge, a traditional way of finishing blankets in Peru.
Each alpaca blanket is as warm as a heavy, bulky merino wool blanket, but at roughly 1/3 of the weight and thickness. Wool holds up to 30% of its weight in moisture, where as alpaca wool holds less than 8%. This means not only less bulk, but less humidity around your body while sleeping. The "hydromorphic" structure of the alpaca hair insures that Alpaca blankets do not retain odor so they need laundering less-often than others. Each is naturally flame retardant as well as hypoallergenic - free from lanolin & dander (again, an aid for allergy sufferers) and the uniquely thin fibers are on par with cashmere, having a softer feel than sheep' wool.
Care - Do not wash or tumble your blanket. Because the material resists soil and moisture-retention that leads to odors, you will rarely have to clean your alpaca bed blanket. Placing your blanket in fresh air and sun for 15 minutes will refresh it. Naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, alpaca will stay clean and out perform other blankets. Spot clean or dry clean only when needed. Dry clean, or green dry cleaning acceptable. Storage: If you’re storing your blanket long-term, it’s recommended to clean it first and store it in a breathable container with lavender or cedar sachet to maintain its high quality.

Love my blanket!
Very light weight but warmer than seems possible.
We loved it from the first night. The bed stayed at just the right temperature. Not heavy. Great weight. Our sleep has improved. We let it air out for two days and there was no smell. Excellent blanket.
This blanket is very soft and a good size for a bed. My issue with it is that it is very thin. I wasn't looking for a heavy blanket but it is way to thin for me. If everything else wasn't so nice, I would have ranked this a lot lower do to thinness. **NOTE** Thank you for your review. We do want to comment on the thickness you mention. The beauty of alpaca is that it is not only lightweight but is exceptionally warm, three times warmer than wool at the same weight. We have created this blanket to not only keep you warm, but to aid in breathability so that you are kept in optimal comfort for sleeping. If the blanket were thicker overheating would occur. We hope that you will review it further once you use it a while so you can attest to the warmth and functionality of its weight. SVAC
Love this blanket! Light weight and super soft. Very warm yet still breathable. Will be buying a second one for the guest bedroom!
Reasonably priced, high quality, and light-weight blanket. Alpaca is considered one of the best blankets to have for your home. I agree. If you want a blanket with warmth and light-weight, Alpaca is what you want.
I use a wool comforter, it breathes well and never felt too hot. As the weather gets colder, I purchased this alpaca blanket, and put it in between the blanket and the sheet. Size wise, it fits perfectly for Cal King. The blanket is light, but the added warmth is just about right. I'm happy with this setup. I can imagine when the weather gets warm, it can be the only cover just by itself without the wool, yet to find that out the next year. Because both the wool and alpaca are breathable, no night sweat. Also feel happy to support women owned business.
Luxurious, gorgeous, light, airy, warm, fluffy blanket with a delicate and pretty edging. Superior quality. I will never need another blanket for my bed. Absolutely Devine!
We are pleased with the queen sized alpaca blanket we received and are using it as our primary blanket. I would prefer if it were woven with slightly heavier yarn and if it were packaged in such a way that the creases due to folding were not so persistent. Still, it is a lovely blanket.
