Sweet Dreams Home Alpaca Throw Blanket

Royal Baby Alpaca refers to the finest grade of alpaca fiber, measuring 18-19 microns in diameter. This results in an exceptionally soft, silky texture that is significantly smoother and less prickly than standard wool or even some cashmere blends.

At nearly 7 pounds, this is a substantial, weighted throw. It provides a comforting, grounding sensation that is much heavier than a typical lightweight cotton or synthetic fleece blanket.

The 10% Pima cotton blend is primarily used to provide structural integrity and drape. It reinforces the delicate alpaca fibers, making the blanket more durable and resistant to stretching over time without compromising the signature softness of the alpaca.

Alpaca fiber is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it is breathable enough to prevent overheating in warmer months while providing excellent insulation during colder seasons. It is designed to be a versatile, year-round layer.

Because of the delicate artisanal construction and natural fibers, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the shape and texture. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can cause the fibers to felt or the knit to lose its structure.
