Cherokee Lap Throw

Warm enough for chilly weather, this lovely pattern is inspired by the Native American Cherokee people. A sumptuous blend of Peruvian Altiplano alpaca, our lap throws provide a soothing warmth without a lot of bulk. The throws are made with a warp and weft weave, which keeps the alpaca content as the only one that is actually exposed. This process ensures maximum softness (since you are only touching the alpaca) with exceptional coziness and lush. Enjoy our masterfully made throws. The classic patterns are carefully finished with fringe edges to beautiful effect.

It is a delightful gift for anyone who loves natural fibers. This treasure will be enjoyed for years with plenty of benefits. First, alpaca is a super breathable fiber due to the hollow core, so you will be toasty warm but not sweaty. You do not need to wash it often because of the naturally occurring anti-microbial properties. Finally, it's an overall excellent throw!

What Is Alpaca Fiber?

Alpaca was once considered a gift from the gods and the most important relic of the history of the Incas. Alpacas are one of four native South American camelids, providing the world with wonderfully luxurious and highly functional fiber.

There are two distinct breeds of these four-legged animals: the Huacaya alpaca and the Suri alpaca. The types of fiber derived from each of these types of alpacas are equally prized for different reasons. Fiber derived from alpacas can be either heavy or light depending on how it is spun, which means that it is ideal for a number of different kinds of products. Compared to sheep’s wool, alpaca fiber is considerably softer, and it is also more durable.

The process of making these throws is one of excellence. The highly skilled artisans making these throws are experts in working with alpaca fiber. It takes a special skill set to work with this fiber and create such an exceptional product. We are proud to bring you a fantastic product that will last you for years. Enjoy your alpaca blanket on your couch, on a trip, or by a campfire!
