This luxe throw is where design, art and tradition intersect. Both a cozy addition to your home and also a one-of-a-kind piece of art, this piece is handcrafted with generational knowledge and skill. It is a homage to the variety of rich tones made possible by 100% natural dyes, woven on a backstrap loom, and finished with a hand-embroidered accent. 

This piece starts with raw alpaca fleece, sourced from Andean herders who are often the family members of our artisan partners. The women in our partner spinning cooperative spin the fleece into a rustic, chunky yarn which gives the final piece texture and softness. The yarn is hand dyed with natural dyes, including ground cochineal beetle which produces the tones of red and pink and native flowers that lend the yellow tones. Artisans then weave the throw on the backstrap loom, joining the two halves with a traditional hand embroidered accent that is a signature for traditional Andean textiles. Handmade tassels add a final charming detail.
