Creamy, cozy, complex and textured. This throw is like nothing you've ever seen or felt before. Woven on a traditional pedal loom, the complex boucle texture is achieved through the use of regular double twist yarn and boucle yarn which is a collection of thousands of tiny loops. The soft, thick middle is untwisted pure baby alpaca strands.
Handwoven on a traditional pedal loom by a group of highly skilled Artisans in the Andes mountains of Huancavelica, baby alpaca is hypoallergenic and perfect for people with allergies or sensitive skin. Our Artisan partners are passionate about the livelihoods of their Artisans and keeping alive traditions that have existed in Peru for 5000 years.
The beauty of both handmade and natural materials means no two pieces will ever be identical. There may be small differences in pattern, colour, shape or texture to what you see in the photo.
