Plaid/Throw Blocked Sky Blue and Naturals - Alpaca Wool

The hollow fiber of alpaca wool makes this throw ultra-light and soft. The subtle shine gives the plaid a luxurious look. Perfect as a blanket on the couch or as a bedspread over your sheets. The composition and dimensions may vary due to the manual production process in the wool weaving communities. Size 240 x 170 cm Fabric 80% alpaca 20% acrylic Color Beige, Blue Alpaca Loca is a young and innovative label that wants to introduce as many people as possible to alpaca wool in a stylish way. We design and produce fair trade products such as plaids, scarves and hats. Alpaca wool has many advantages over sheep’s wool or cashmere. For example, alpaca wool does not contain lanolin (unlike sheep’s wool) and the fabric is therefore hypoallergenic. The structure of alpaca wool is stronger and therefore more durable. Because alpaca wool pills much less, it feels comfortable on bare skin. The alpaca wool fiber is naturally dirt and water-resistant. Thanks to the hollow fiber, alpaca wool adapts to your body temperature. The fabric keeps you warm in the winter and cools you down in the summer. Alpaca Loca uses wool from Ecuadorian alpacas. Here our products are handmade by a close-knit community of weavers. We value quality, tradition, integrity and social responsibility. The wool weavers receive a fair salary and we regularly check the working conditions in the factory ourselves. Through this setup, a purchase of an Alpaca Loca product contributes to the economic growth of Ecuador and alleviating poverty among alpaca herders.
