Pamela's notes
I discovered alpaca throws during my travels in Peru and was immediately captivated by their extraordinary softness and the artisans' deep commitment to traditional techniques. I have several in my own family room, where they add both comfort and sophisticated texture without feeling precious or overly formal.
What drew me to alpaca, beyond the obvious luxury, is that it's remarkably underappreciated compared to cashmere. The fibers are equally soft but notably more durable, with a longer fiber length that resists pilling beautifully over time. The hollow fiber structure provides exceptional warmth without weight, and they regulate temperature naturally. I also appreciate the sustainability story: alpacas graze gently on their native Andean terrain and yield generous fleece annually with minimal environmental impact.
The color range is another reason I love offering these, from rich earth tones to soft neutrals, there's genuinely a shade for any palette. Mine have held up extraordinarily well with regular use, maintaining their softness and drape without any signs of wear.
About The Maker
Handwoven by indigenous Quechua artisans in Peru's Andean highlands using centuries-old techniques passed down from the ancient Inca civilization. Working on traditional wooden looms, these master craftspeople transform ethically sourced baby alpaca wool into textiles of extraordinary quality. Baby alpaca refers to fiber grade rather than age, specifically the finest fleece measuring 19-22.5 microns from the softest areas of the animal. These artisans receive fair compensation directly for their work, ensuring both the preservation of their cultural heritage and the continuation of their exceptional craft.
