The Purely Alpaca Southwest Patterned Bed Blanket is a generously sized, artisan-woven blanket made from 80% baby alpaca and 20% acrylic. At 79" x 92", it's built for real bed use — warm enough to replace a duvet on cooler nights, and beautiful enough to leave on display. If you're looking for a meaningful housewarming or wedding gift, this is one worth giving.
✨ Features
- 🧶 Baby Alpaca Blend: 80% baby alpaca, 20% acrylic — naturally soft, warm, and durable.
- 📐 Extra Large Size: Measures approximately 79" x 92" (200 x 234 cm). Slight variation is natural given the handcraft process.
- ⚖️ Substantial Weight: 3 lbs — thick and dense for a noticeably cozy feel.
- 🔄 Reversible Weave: Both sides are finished, so you get two looks in one blanket.
- 🎨 Intricate Aztec Southwest Pattern: Complex weave patterns that take significantly more time and skill to produce than simpler striped designs.
- 🏡 Artisan-Made in Ecuador: Handcrafted by a small family-run workshop near Otavalo — a region with a long, proud tradition of textile artistry.
💛 Benefits
- 🌙 Genuinely Warm: The thicker, denser construction means real warmth — great for cold nights without feeling heavy or stiff.
- 🛏️ Bed-Ready Size: Large enough to comfortably cover a queen bed, making it a practical everyday piece, not just a decorative throw.
- 🎁 A Gift People Actually Keep: Thoughtful, lasting, and useful — a natural choice for weddings, housewarmings, or anyone who appreciates quality textiles.
- 🌿 Sustainably Sourced: Sourced directly from a small family workshop outside Otavalo, Ecuador, supporting traditional craft and local artisans.
- 🔁 Versatile Style: The reversible design and bold Southwest pattern work equally well on a bed, sofa, or as a wall hanging.
🧺 Care Instructions
- Gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water with a light detergent.
- Line dry or air dry. A short 5–10 minutes in the dryer will restore fluffiness.

🌎 The Story Behind the Blanket
In 2013, the Purely Alpaca team travelled to Ecuador in search of the finest alpaca goods they could find. These blankets were one of their best discoveries. Made by a small family workshop just outside the indigenous town of Otavalo — a place long celebrated for its fiber artists and textile heritage — each blanket reflects the skill and care of the people who make it.
