ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

A handwoven throw in 100% baby alpaca, in a warm brown that sits easily against almost any room.

Baby alpaca is not a young animal - it is a grade of fiber, sorted for fineness, and one of the softest grades there is. Only royal alpaca, which is rare, is finer. Alpaca carries no lanolin, the grease in sheep's wool behind most wool itch, and weight for weight it is warmer than wool.

The surface is brushed, so it has a soft raised nap rather than a flat weave. At 51 by 71 inches it covers an adult on the sofa properly and is still light enough to leave on the bed year round.

  • Size - 51 x 71 inches
  • Fiber - 100% baby alpaca
  • Finish - brushed
  • Care - dry clean only

Handwoven in Peru by artisan communities in the Andes, by a family-owned maker that works directly with the weavers and pays fair wages that build long-term work for their families. Ethically handcrafted, start to finish.

The alpacas are sheared once a year in spring and the fleece is spun into yarn. Handwoven, so color depth and weave vary a little from piece to piece. Made in Peru.

These are handwoven in Peru, up in the Andes, by artisan communities the maker works with directly. It is a family-owned business, and it pays fair wages that build long-term economic opportunity for the weavers and their families.

Baby alpaca is a grade, not an age. It is fleece sorted for fineness, one of the softest grades the fiber comes in; only royal alpaca, which is rare, is finer. The alpacas are sheared once a year in spring and the fleece is spun into yarn.

Alpaca contains no lanolin, which is the grease in sheep's wool responsible for most wool itch. The fiber also has a naturally insulating core, so weight for weight it is warmer than wool.

BUSH & BRIAR

Nature's Way is how I decide what earns a place in the shop. Six things, and every one of them is checkable on the product page above.

  1. Natural Materials, named — I state the actual material, milulu grass, pure alpaca fiber, etc. rather than a vague adjective.
  2. Woven by hand — not pressed, molded, or machine-made.
  3. A named place — the region it was made in, taken from the maker's own labelling.
  4. Bought outright — I own what I sell and pack it myself. Nothing here is drop-shipped.
  5. Small quantities — often a single piece per size, because that is how it arrives.
  6. No claim I cannot show you — if I cannot verify it, it does not go on the page.

Orders ship from my workspace in Southern California, usually within 1–2 business days.

Shipping is free on orders over $70. Orders under $70 ship for a flat $6.

I currently ship within the continental United States.

If something is not right, email support@bushandbriar.com within 30 days of delivery. Items should be unused and in original condition.

If your order arrives damaged, send photos within 14 days and I will replace or refund it at no cost to you.
