Alpaca fur is a very unique wool that is hypoallergenic, and very lightweight. The Alpaca Blankets are extremely soft and are comparable to the fineness of cashmere and the smoothness of silk. Even though they are lightweight they are five (5) times warmer and three (3) times stronger than sheep’s wool, making our Alpaca Blankets perfect for a chilly afternoon in your hammock! So whether you use these blankets while you are relaxing in your hammock, nuzzling by a fire or as an extra blanket on your bed you will be warm and snug!
