Soft Baby Alpaca. Colour in Stripes. Handmade in Otavalo.
Siguitag brings colour without shouting: dozens of thin stripes that read as one warm, textured whole.
Woven by hand in Otavalo, Ecuador — the textile capital of the Andes — from a baby alpaca wool blend — baby alpaca is finer and softer than regular alpaca and naturally lanolin-free and gentle on sensitive skin. It washes easily and dries fast, which is why customers who buy one usually come back for a second.

“Baby alpaca” is the name of the finest grade of alpaca fibre, not the age of the animal — alpacas are shorn once a year, like sheep. And it is not a blanket for babies: this is a full-size adult blanket.
Warmth & fit
Lightweight warmth: alpaca insulates far better than its weight suggests, so this blanket is warm on a winter night yet comfortable as a summer throw. Large enough to cover a queen bed as a top layer or two people on the sofa.
Care
Hand wash cold with a mild detergent (or delicate cycle in a mesh bag)
Do not bleach or tumble dry
Lay flat or hang with support to dry, out of direct sun
Steam or low iron with a cloth if needed
Handmade, so no two are identical. Each piece is woven and dyed by hand in Otavalo, Ecuador. Colours can be a shade lighter or darker than on screen, and fringe and pattern placement vary slightly — that is the signature of a real artisan piece, not a flaw.
