Earth & Sand Stripes. Two Sizes. Handmade in Otavalo.

Yankuam brings earth and sand tones to your bed or sofa: stripes of grey, beige and cream in a relaxed, natural palette. Available in Queen and Queen Plus.

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. It washes easily and dries fast.

Why you’ll love it

  • Baby alpaca – soft, smooth and naturally lanolin-free
  • Warm without weight – winter nights and summer evenings alike
  • Earthy palette – grey, beige and cream stripes
  • Easy care – washes well and dries fast
  • Hand-woven in Otavalo – fair-trade artisan work from Ecuador

Details

  • Material: 80% baby alpaca / 20% acrylic — the acrylic keeps the blanket soft, washable and in shape for years
  • Queen: 96" x 72" (240 x 182 cm), approx. 780 g / 1.75 lb
  • Queen Plus: 98" x 72" (250 x 182 cm), approx. 1,000 g / 2.2 lb
  • Weight: see sizes above
  • Colours: Grey, beige and cream earth & sand stripes
  • Made in: Otavalo, Ecuador — fair trade, artisan woven

“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. Both sizes cover a queen bed as a top layer; Queen Plus is a little longer and heavier.

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.

Shipping & gift. Dispatched from Ecuador within 1 business day. US orders travel FedEx Express — typically at your door in 3–5 business days, duties covered. We ship worldwide by express courier (DHL, FedEx or UPS), typically 3–10 business days; local duties and taxes may apply outside the US. Every order includes a small surprise from Ecuador.
