I had this sent to my friend for her birthday. She said it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. As a seamstress, she can identify quality craftsmanship. Thank you for making my friendās birthday so special!
Fabulous product. Unbelievably soft and luxurious. My wife is in love with this throw and cuddles up with it on the sofa during the evenings. She is always cold and this throw provides her with the warmth she is looking for, as well as its incredibly soft feel. A truly great find. Many thanks.
I bought this beautiful, soft throw for my mother, and she keeps it in her living room to put on her lap. It looks wonderful on her couch, too. It has held up for more than a year now.

Alpaca Blankets
The Alpaca has been a central part of Andean culture for over a thousand years. Long-prized for its silken feel and light weight warmth, the fleece of this high altitude native has been woven by villagers into rugs and blankets of surprising color and texture, each village and family bringing their own unique design motifs to their creations.
