Andean Alpaca Wool Blanket - Galapagos

A sweep of Andean geometry in brilliant Ecuadorian color

The Galapagos Alpaca Wool Blanket layers turquoise, coral, gold, cream, green, and deep blue across alternating bands of woven geometry. Its reversible design shifts the balance of pattern and color from one side to the other, offering two distinct presentations within a single textile.

Approximately queen sized, the blanket can cover a bed, spread across a sofa, or be shared outdoors during a picnic or evening around the fire. The alpaca blend has a soft, cashmere-like feel with natural insulation, yet remains lightweight enough to use throughout the year.

Woven in Ecuador

Andean Artisan Work: Local Ecuadorian artisans produce each blanket using looms that have been in service for approximately a century.
Traditional Textile Production: Repeating bands of diamonds, stepped forms, and narrow stripes showcase the intricacy possible within loom-woven pattern.
Artisan Support: Alpaca Threadz works with Andean communities through fair trade partnerships and returns a portion of its profits to local artisan families.

Fiber, Color & Scale

Alpaca Blend: Equal parts alpaca wool and ultra-soft acrylic with recycled content combine warmth and softness with greater durability.
Reversible Pattern: Both sides display the colorful geometric design with a different arrangement of tones and details.
Queen Size: At approximately 90 by 78 inches, the blanket offers substantial coverage without feeling excessively heavy.
Naturally Insulating: Alpaca fibers help retain warmth while remaining breathable and light.
Vibrant Palette: Turquoise, coral, gold, cream, green, and deep blue create a lively textile suited to both neutral and colorful surroundings.

At Home & Away

Across the Bed: Use as a full top layer on a queen bed or fold it across the foot for color and additional warmth.
On the Sofa: Drape over a sofa or reading chair where the long patterned bands can remain visible.
Shared Outdoors: Bring it along for picnics, campfires, road trips, or cool evenings beneath the open sky.
Year-Round Comfort: Lightweight construction makes the blanket useful beyond the coldest months.
