The Citizenry Nevado Alpaca Throw

Baby alpaca refers to the finest grade of alpaca fiber, which is exceptionally soft and lightweight. It is known for its velvety texture and superior warmth compared to traditional wool, without the itchiness often associated with other natural fibers.

Yes, the throw is naturally hypoallergenic and free of lanolin, which is commonly found in sheep's wool. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or wool allergies.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-loomed fibers, this throw is dry clean only. We recommend professional cleaning to keep the material soft and prevent any potential shrinking or damage.

The throw measures 50 inches by 70 inches. While it is sized perfectly as a decorative accent for a bed or to drape over a sofa, it is best used as a lap blanket rather than a full-coverage bedspread.

Fair trade certification ensures that the master weavers in Peru are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. By purchasing this throw, you are directly supporting the preservation of traditional weaving techniques and the livelihoods of local artisans.
