Product Description: Alpaca Wool
Regarded as the “Gold of the Andes,” Alpaca Wool is a premier textile celebrated for its lightweight, soft texture and remarkable thermal properties. Its exceptional performance makes it a highly sought-after choice among discerning consumers.
Alpaca Home’s blankets are made exclusively from the softest, pure 100% baby alpaca wool, certified by the International Alpaca Association in Peru. Luxuriously cozy and breathable, these blankets promise an unparalleled experience in comfort.
One of the standout characteristics of alpaca fiber is its ability to trap and release heat efficiently. This smart fiber is hypoallergenic and flame-retardant, ensuring that you remain warm and snug throughout the year. With its outstanding breathability, alpaca wool effectively reduces humidity around the body, promoting a serene and comfortable relaxation environment without the discomfort of overheating. Additionally, alpaca fiber is among the world's strongest and most durable textiles. Its long, silky strands are also less likely to pill compared to wool or cashmere.
The natural color palette of our blankets showcases 22 naturally occurring hues of alpaca, entirely free from artificial dyes. For our dyed options, we ensure they are AZO-free, colorfast, and richly saturated, making them a perfect match for any living space.
Since our inception on the farm in 1997, our mission has remained unchanged: to provide luxurious alpaca blankets that highlight the beautiful, life-enhancing qualities of alpaca wool. We believe in creating products that are not only wonderful to use but also beneficial for the planet, the people involved, and the alpacas themselves.
Alpaca Home operates as a division of Inca Brands, Inc., a California-based, women-owned company with over 25 years of experience in working with alpacas and their fibers.
About Alpacas!
Unlike wild animals, alpacas have no natural defenses and rely on humans for care and protection. They have been domesticated and tended for centuries. Annual fleece shearing is essential for their health and wellbeing.
Originating in the Andean mountains of South America, alpacas have found new homes worldwide over the last 40 years. Currently, there are millions of alpacas across the globe, with 94% residing in South America. In the USA, there are approximately 200,000 alpacas, while Australia has around 350,000 and the UK has about 45,000.
The fleece of alpacas evolved to provide warmth in the extreme temperature variations of the high and arid Altiplano, where temperatures can swing from sub-zero to the 70s within a single day. This unique evolution contributes to the luxurious and satisfying experience of alpaca wool.
Our blankets are handcrafted using fair trade principles, supporting our artisan partners.
Styles for Every Decor!
Our collection features a range of styles, including Classic, Geometric, Traditional, and Midcentury & Modern designs.
