Alpaca Wool Blanket

Pray, allow me to express, with due eloquence and fervor, my sentiments regarding this most excellent blanket. From the moment it graced my possession, I have been enraptured by its many virtues, each of which merits careful elucidation.

Foremost, its softness rivals the delicate petal of a newly-bloomed rose, rendering it a delight to both the hand and the repose-seeking frame. The expanse of the fabric is equally worthy of commendation, as it is capacious enough to envelop even the most statuesque individual with ease.

In matters of warmth, it excels beyond my most sanguine expectations, providing a cocoon of comfort amidst the chill of winter evenings. And lo! Despite its ample size and the bounteous insulation it affords, the blanket remains astonishingly light, as though imbued with the very breath of zephyrs.

One must also acknowledge the swiftness with which this treasured item arrived at my abode, scarcely allowing me the time to anticipate its advent. Furthermore, the manner in which I was guided through the process of acquisition bespoke a level of attentiveness rare in this or any age; it was as though the merchant anticipated my every need and wish.

In sum, I find myself most pleased and can, without reservation, commend this blanket to all who seek the harmonious union of utility and delight.

I bought one as a present. It was a huge hit. I thought it was such a good blanket I bought one for myself. Have not regretted that decision once. Soft, warm and lovely.

I bought an Alpaca Blanket for my mother for Christmas. I heard many times from her how she wouldn't do without it now when relaxing on cool evenings. I next bought one for my daughter. She too raved about how cozy the blanket was. Even though I had no excuse to spend money, I then bought one for myself. I have been enjoying it thoroughly these past 6 months of cooler weather. I do try to baby it and have hand-washed it, rather than taken the risk to machine wash delicate, after my small dog snuck up into the upstairs recliner to enjoy a winter afternoon. It has fuzzed up a bit after that, but still so soft and enjoyable.

I did a deep dive looking at wool blankets and couldn't settle on what to get until I found these. Alpaca wool blankets on Amazon were more pricey or had some questionable reviews. These blankets were bigger, cheaper, and seemed to be of good quality. After buying one for myself, I have since bought one for all my family members... and a second one for myself. These are are so soft it's stupid and unlike a lot of synthetic blankets that hasn't changed after several months of use.

This is a great, blanket! I plan to use it in the spring, summer, and early fall by itself, without a tent, and have no worries it will be find. For colder or snowy weather, I plan to use the alpaca as the inner blanket with a thicker blanket as the outer. I bought the grey/tan striped blanket, and it looks awesome rolled on top of a pack. Alpaca is soft and smooth; it's also warmer by volume than sheep wool. For those allergic to wool blankets, know that alpaca is hypoallergenic. I can see how some reenactors may have an issue with the historical correctness of alpaca. It wasn't really used in western Europe (other than Spain) until roughly 1830. But if the alpaca doesn't turn you away, this is a fantastic blanket to use in the field.
