• Made in Peru
• Materials: 100% super soft baby alpaca
• Dimensions: 51 in. wide X 65 in. long (+6 in. fringe)
• Care: never wash your alpaca throw - the spinning motion of a washing machine will destroy the delicate fibers. Absorb any liquid spills with paper towels or a clean cloth. Dry cleaning is the best option for removing stains or occasional cleaning.

Note: Alpaca wool is an exceptional product, suitable for sensitive skins such as those of children and the elderly or anyone who has very delicate skin. This is because it doesn't contain lanolin, the main cause of irritation in wool. It also doesn't capture or retain dust. Baby alpaca wool comes from the underside of the neck, where the fleece is finest and softest.

• CARE Instructions: Alpaca fiber is a naturally an anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and odor-resistant fiber, so your alpaca items probably don’t need to be cleaned as often as you think. Hand-washing is the gentlest method of cleaning an alpaca garment with mild liquid detergent like baby shampoo. Be gentle handling it to avoid wrinkles and distortion. Place the garment on a dry towel and reshape (do not hang to dry). Lay flat to dry, away from sunlight and direct heat. If the garment is wrinkled after drying, steam it lightly. Dry clean is also recommended.
• STORAGE: If you need to put your alpaca garments away during warmer months, give it a good clean first following the instructions above. Use lavender bundles (the chemical moth balls will do as well) to keep moths away. Keep in a shirt box, clean pillow case, clean paper bag, or cardboard box, never in plastic! Alpaca clothing should be folded rather than hung to prevent stretching and distortion.
