The benefits of an alpaca plaid for your home
Unlike fleece or wool blankets, an alpaca throw is lighter, more versatile, and above all, more decorative. The term "plaid" originates from Scottish culture and refers to a traditional, usually checked blanket that was often worn as a fashion accessory. Today, a plaid stands for a high-quality cozy blanket that provides warmth and enhances the home ambiance. Its lightness makes it perfect as a throw for the sofa, couch, or bed. Thanks to the exclusive wool, this alpaca throw feels incredibly soft against the skin without being scratchy.
The hollow fibers of alpaca wool efficiently retain heat while allowing moisture to escape. This means you won't sweat under the blanket, yet you'll still stay comfortably warm in winter.

Versatility of an alpaca plaid:
Perfect as a gift or home accessory
An alpaca throw is not only a cozy blanket, but also a stylish accessory for your home. Whether as a cozy throw for the sofa, a decorative bedspread, or an elegant companion for cool evenings on the patio – the throw is versatile. Unlike a conventional blanket, a throw impresses with its fine texture. The yarn is so fine that the wool of baby alpacas feels almost like silk when processed. With its hypoallergenic properties and temperature-regulating effects, an alpaca throw is also an excellent gift for special occasions such as Christmas or birthdays.
