Is the Sandoy throw warm enough for winter?

Yes. Alpaca and wool are both insulating fibers, and the blend gives the throw real loft. It works as a lap throw or an extra layer on a bed in cold months.

Can I wash it in a machine?

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.

Why does my throw look different from the picture?

It is a natural material, hand-finished, so shade and pile vary from piece to piece. Slight differences are part of the character rather than a defect.

It is 59 by 73 inches, one size. That is large enough to drape over a sofa arm, run across the foot of a bed or wrap around your shoulders.

Will it shed or pill?

Natural alpaca and wool pile can shed loose fibers and pill with use. Brushing the pile gently helps, and pilling tends to settle after the first few weeks.

Keep it out of direct sunlight, since prolonged UV exposure fades the natural color. It suits a sofa, a bed foot or a reading chair away from a bright window.
