Baby alpaca wool is significantly softer and lighter than sheep's wool, offering a silkier texture that is less likely to itch. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin or wool allergies.

Yes, the alpaca fibers are excellent at heat regulation. While it is lightweight enough for year-round use, the natural thermal properties of the wool provide substantial warmth during colder months without causing you to overheat.

To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers, we recommend dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cool water with a mild wool detergent. Always lay the blanket flat to dry to prevent stretching or distortion of the fringe.

The fringe is finished to be secure, but like any hand-loomed textile, it should be handled with care. It is designed as a decorative accent, so avoid pulling or snagging it on furniture to keep the edges looking pristine.

High-quality alpaca wool is generally resistant to pilling compared to other natural fibers. While some minor shedding is normal for a new natural fiber product, it will subside quickly with regular, gentle use.
