Desert Breeze Andean Collection Alpaca and Merino Wool Blanket
Built for genuinely cold nights, this heavyweight bed blanket is woven at a family-run mill high in the Peruvian Andes from a traditional 50/50 blend of alpaca and Peruvian sheep wool. Each fiber earns its place: alpaca’s hollow structure traps warmth while releasing moisture, Merino adds fine, lofty crimp for temperature regulation, and Dorset lends the resilience that keeps a heavyweight blanket holding its shape through years of nightly use. The result is a warm, breathable, lanolin-rich blanket that keeps you toasty without the sweat — finished in natural earth tones with rustic stripes that suit cabins, farmhouses, and cold-climate bedrooms alike.
Key features:
- 🦙 Traditional 50/50 blend of alpaca and Peruvian sheep wool (Merino and Dorset breeds) delivers warmth, loft, and lasting durability
- 🔥 Heavyweight construction traps heat without trapping moisture, ideal for extreme cold, drafty old houses, and cold-natured sleepers
- 🏔️ Woven in the Peruvian Andes at a family-run mill from fibers raised in the high mountains, with no synthetic fill and no shortcuts
- 📏 Generous king size at approximately 86 x 103 inches and around 7 pounds offers substantial, cozy coverage
- 🧵 Double-brushed nap on both sides with reinforced polyester binding and double-stitched edges is built for years of use
- 🧼 Fully machine washable on a gentle cycle (or dry clean), unlike most heavyweight wool blankets in its class
A few honest notes on real wool: this has an authentic, rustic wool texture — brushed for softness, but not the silky, plush feel of synthetics — and it arrives with a light, earthy alpaca-and-sheep scent that’s a sign of pure, untreated fiber and fades within a couple of weeks. Use it on its own on frigid nights, layer it over a comforter for extra warmth, or pack it for winter camping. Made by a woman-led, family-owned small business that inspects and packages every blanket in Idaho, it’s a natural, sustainable choice built to last.
