Cajabamba – Alpaca Wool Blanket – Queen 90x65 in – Blue & Turquoise Stripes

Soft Baby Alpaca. Blue & Turquoise. Handmade in Otavalo.

Cajabamba is the one for a splash of colour: bold blue and turquoise stripes on a soft baby alpaca-blend throw.

Named after the highland town of Cajabamba in Chimborazo province, this blanket is 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.
