Handloomed Light Tan Pima Cotton & Alpaca Throw

Undyed light tan alpaca and Peruvian Pima cotton are woven into this mid-weight throw with a textured handwoven pattern. Hand-tied fringe finishes both ends of the textile.

Wooden looms shape the woven construction, creating visible texture across the surface. Natural fiber coloration and handcrafted finishing contribute to the character of the finished piece.

Throw blankets are designed for convenience, making them easy to carry from room to room, outdoors, and during travel.

Alpaca’s hollow fibers slow thermal drift, helping maintain consistent warmth even when the surrounding temperature fluctuates. This stability stands out in draft-prone rooms, where temperatures change quickly. Alpaca’s warmth shifts slowly, which is why people describe it as steady. Cold-sensitive thermoreceptors (TRPM8) and warm-sensitive receptors relay these gradual changes through spinal pathways, where brainstem nuclei interpret them as smooth thermal transitions (Bautista et al., 2007). Studies indicate that steady, predictable touch can ease anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed by promoting a feeling of security (Olausson et al., 2014).
