Andean Alpaca Wool Blanket - Western

Andean color woven for the bed, the sofa, and wherever the day leads

The Western Alpaca Wool Blanket brings together the warmth of alpaca fiber and a vivid geometric design in rust, oxblood, cream, olive, and slate. Reversible construction reveals a complementary arrangement on each side, allowing the pattern and color balance to shift with a simple turn.

Its generous queen size offers ample coverage for a bed while remaining light enough to carry outdoors for campfires, picnics, and cool evenings. Woven in Ecuador on century old looms, the blanket connects everyday comfort with the textile traditions of Andean artisan communities.

Woven in Ecuador

Andean Artisan Work: Made by local artisans in Ecuador using looms that have been in service for approximately a century.
Traditional Textile Production: The woven construction reflects a regional practice sustained through generations of Ecuadorian makers.
Artisan Support: Alpaca Threadz works with Andean communities in Ecuador and Peru through fair trade partnerships and returns a portion of its profits to local artisan families.

Fiber, Pattern & Scale

Alpaca Blend: Equal parts alpaca wool and ultra soft acrylic with recycled content create a blanket that is warm, lightweight, and durable.
Reversible Design: Each side presents a different arrangement of the Western inspired geometric pattern and its earthy color palette.
Queen Size: Measuring approximately 90 by 78 inches, the blanket provides enough coverage for a queen bed or for several people to share.
Naturally Insulating: Alpaca fibers help retain warmth without giving the blanket unnecessary bulk.
Individual Character: Slight differences in color and weave are expected in artisan made textiles.

From Home to Open Air

Bed Layer: Spread across a queen bed as a colorful top layer or fold at the foot for additional warmth.
Sofa Throw: Drape over a sofa or reading chair to introduce pattern, softness, and rich earth tones.
Shared Evenings: The oversized dimensions make it easy to gather beneath during movies, conversation, or cool evenings outdoors.
Camp and Picnic Blanket: Lightweight construction makes the blanket practical to carry for road trips, picnics, and nights around the fire.
