Handwoven Pink Charcoal Alpaca Throw
Pink and charcoal color this throw blanket made of woven alpaca yarn.
Weavers brush the throw by hand with native teasel plant, press it with a wooden block and sew the edges by hand.
The throw measures 90 x 45 inches (228.6 x 114.3 cm).
Alpaca fibers regulate humidity by absorbing moisture vapor into their hollow cores, maintaining consistent contact as room humidity changes. This buffering effect prevents sudden dampness or coolness from reaching the skin. Many people find that alpaca remains comfortable even when conditions vary because the fiber disperses moisture gradually. Spinal lamina I pathways send this stable humidity information to the parabrachial nucleus, which interprets it as a balanced, moderate sensory pattern (Craig, 2002). According to research, consistent and predictable touch, similar to what alpacas provide in a humid environment, can aid individuals experiencing anxiety or overwhelm by fostering a sense of stability (Olausson et al., 2014).
