Is alpaca warmer than wool?

Alpaca is warmer for its weight than sheep wool, and it has no lanolin, so it feels softer and less prickly. That makes it a good pick for a light throw that still holds heat.

Can I wash the bed scarf at home?

No. It is dry clean only. Shake it out and gently brush the pile to lift it, and blot spills right away with a clean, damp cloth instead of rubbing or soaking.

Will it fit a king bed?

At 24" x 100" it is a bed scarf, not a full cover. It runs across the width of a king bed at the foot, and the length also works draped over a sofa or around the shoulders.

Why does the color look slightly different from the picture?

It is a natural fibre, so no two pieces are identical. Slight variation in shade and pile is normal and part of the character of the material.

What is the backing made of?

The face is 100% alpaca wool and the back is polyester, which gives the scarf structure so it sits flat over a bed or sofa.

How should I store it?

Keep it out of direct sunlight, since prolonged UV exposure fades the natural white over time. Store it folded and dry, and brush the pile before use.
