Product Type: Throw Blankets

This camel alpaca throw blanket is a chunky weave of snow white, camel and charcoal yarns, finished with long cream fringe and a dark charcoal edge down each side. It is 75% alpaca and 25% wool, and it measures 69 by 51 inches plus the fringe.

  • Three quarters alpaca: most of the fiber is alpaca, with wool woven in for spring and body.
  • Tweed-style color: camel, cream and charcoal flecks read as one warm neutral from across the room.
  • Wide enough to wear: at 51 inches it wraps your shoulders like a shawl when you get up to make tea.

Alpaca Throw Blanket with Wool

An alpaca throw blanket feels lighter in the hand than its warmth suggests, because alpaca hair holds heat without much weight. The quarter share of wool gives the chunky weave a little bounce, so it recovers after being bunched up on the sofa all evening. At 69 inches long it outmeasures the common 50 by 60 inch throw by 9 inches, enough to tuck around your feet when you stretch out.

The maker, Royal Knit Peru, describes the throw as made by hand and notes that every piece varies slightly in its weave. Expect the camel and charcoal flecks to fall a little differently than in the photos.

Styling a Camel Sofa Throw

Camel is the easy neutral: it warms a cream sofa, softens a gray one and sits naturally on leather. For a relaxed look, drape it diagonally over one arm so a corner of fringe falls toward the floor. For a neater one, fold it in thirds lengthwise and lay it across the back cushions. Pair it with jute, oak and cream linen and the room looks finished, the combination the sofa photo uses.

The charcoal side edge gives the throw a defined outline, which keeps a chunky weave from looking shapeless when it hangs.

Camel Alpaca Throw in Daily Use

What is the difference between alpaca and wool? Alpaca is smoother and silkier, holds more warmth for its weight and has no lanolin. Wool is springier and keeps its shape well, which is why this throw blends the two.

Does it work as a shoulder wrap? Yes, as the beach photo shows. The 51 inch width wraps the shoulders and closes in front, and folding the top edge down once keeps the 69 inch length off the ground.

What care does an alpaca throw need? Very little between washes: air it on a chair back, brush off lint, and store it folded rather than hung. When it does need a wash, follow the maker's line exactly, hand wash cold with mild detergent, reshape while wet and lay flat to dry.
