Linen Way Sherbrooke Alpaca Throw

Baby alpaca refers to the fineness of the fiber, not the age of the animal. It is one of the softest, most luxurious grades of alpaca wool, offering a silky, lightweight feel that is significantly softer and less itchy than traditional sheep's wool.

To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers and the weave, this throw must be dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these methods can cause the delicate alpaca wool to felt or shrink.

Yes. Despite being lightweight, alpaca fiber is hollow, which provides excellent thermal insulation. It is designed to trap heat effectively while remaining breathable, making it suitable for year-round use.

The RAS certification ensures that the alpaca fibers are sourced from farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable land management practices. It guarantees that the animals are treated humanely and that the environment is protected throughout the production process.

Like all natural wool products, some minor shedding or pilling can occur with initial use due to the nature of the fibers. However, the high-quality, long-staple baby alpaca used here is more resistant to pilling than lower-grade wools.
