Hand-knotted white fringe borders the long edges and completes the textile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarns are selected and arranged on a wooden frame before weaving begins. Hand brushing with teasel, pressing with a wooden block, and hand-knotting the fringe complete the traditional finishing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrow blankets are designed for convenience, making them easy to carry from room to room, outdoors, and during travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca’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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: alpaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: navy blue, copper, white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 90\" x 45\" (229 x 114 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFringe: 4 inches (10 cm), hand-knotted, white, on the long ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: brushed by hand with teasel, hand-ironed with a wooden block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1 lb (499 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Otavalo, Ecuador\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTextiles provide tactile grounding by activating the skin’s mechanoreceptors to produce calming physical feedback (McGlone et al., 2014) and ease tension (McEwen, 2007).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purple Nest Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45841597235234,"sku":"EAP_KAL021_CPNVWH_9045","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7961\/8594\/files\/PurpleNest_98.jpg?v=1782321066","url":"https:\/\/sessparker.com\/products\/handwoven-copper-navy-alpaca-throw","provider":"Sess Parker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
