About This ALPACA & MERINO/DORSET SHEEP WOOL HEAVYWEIGHT — WOVEN AT A FAMILY-RUN MILL IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES: A 50/50 blend of alpaca and Peruvian sheep wool (Merino and Dorset breeds) — the same fibers shepherds have raised in the high Andes for over five centuries. Finished with reinforced polyester binding and double-brushed nap for a genuine 100% wool bed blanket built for years of use. No synthetic fill, no shortcuts. ENGINEERED BY NATURE FOR COLD WEATHER WITHOUT THE SWEAT: Alpaca brings breathability and a soft touch; Merino/Dorset sheep wools add loft, natural lanolin, and resilience. Heavyweight warmth that traps heat without trapping moisture — use it on its own on cold nights, layer it over a comforter for added warmth, or pack it for winter camping. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM REAL WOOL: Authentic wool has a natural alpaca/sheep wool scent on arrival that fades within a couple of weeks — proof of pure, untreated fiber, never chemically deodorized. Expect a textured wool feel (not slippery-soft like synthetic fibers) and some natural fiber shedding that diminishes with time and use. These are signs of real wool, not defects. FOR KING BEDS — HEAVYWEIGHT BED BLANKET: Sized to fit a king mattress. Color: Earth Tones — natural alpaca shades woven into a striped pattern. Because each blanket is woven in small batches at a family-run mill in Peru, dimensions and weight vary slightly between production runs. Also available in Twin and Full/Queen. EASY CARE, NO DRY CLEANER NEEDED: Spot clean as needed; machine washable on a gentle cycle with no agitation in cool water with a mild wool wash (we recommend Outback Gold Wool Wash). Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Dry cleaning is also suitable. From Desert Breeze Distributing — a woman-led, family-owned US small business founded in 2013 — every blanket is inspected and packaged by our team in Idaho before it ships to you.
