Description

Vintage Huancatex Peru Inca Aztec Alpaca Lana Wool Brown Reversible Blanket
Cousin of the llama, alpacas graze at elevations of 10,000 to 14,000 feet on the harsh high plains of the Peruvian Andes. Their thick, sumptuous coats grow naturally in over 40 shades from ivory to black, and every grey and brown shade between.
Alpaca fiber is warmer and stronger than wool, and so resistant to saturation that it’s nearly water-repellant. It’s also free of the lanolin that is present in wool, making it hypoallergenic. Lighter shades of the fleece also take dyes beautifully, making it invaluable to our designers when they want to bring a vibrant sweater design to life.
Alpaca fiber is:
Lighter and warmer than wool
Luxuriously soft to the touch with a silky sheen
Comfortable and versatile
Grows naturally in dozens of beautiful shades
Hypoallergenic
Using Alpaca fiber promotes sustainable agriculture in the Andes
