Woven in the Andes, Built for Real Cold

100% NATURAL ALPACA AND MERINO/DORSET SHEEP WOOL BLANKET — WOVEN IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES - This Desert Breeze Andean Collection wool blanket is a heavyweight, 100% wool bed blanket woven at a family-run mill high in the Peruvian Andes. The traditional 50/50 blend combines pure alpaca with Peruvian sheep wool drawn from Merino and Dorset breeds. Alpaca brings breathability and a soft touch — each fiber has a hollow structure that traps warmth while releasing moisture, the natural insulation that has clothed Andean shepherds for over five centuries. Merino sheep wool contributes fine, naturally crimped fiber for loft and temperature regulation. Dorset sheep wool adds resilience, structure, and the durability that lets a heavyweight wool blanket hold its shape through years of nightly use. Together they produce a warm, breathable, lanolin-rich wool blanket that traps heat without trapping moisture — ideal for cold-climate sleepers, drafty old houses, cabin retreats, and anyone who wants the warmth of real wool without the bulk of a heavy comforter.

A HEAVYWEIGHT BED BLANKET FOR COLD NIGHTS - Generous, dense, and substantial — a true bed blanket, not a lightweight throw — it serves as your primary winter cover. Both sides are double-brushed for a woolly texture and added loft. Edges are finished with reinforced polyester binding so the blanket holds together through years of use. Use it on its own on cold nights, layer it over a comforter for added warmth, or pack it for camping. Customers describe it as warm, heavy, natural, rustic, cozy — the kind of wool blanket you've always wanted.

EARTH TONES IN A WOVEN STRIPED PATTERN — FROM ALPACA'S NATURAL SHADES - The Earth Tones color palette comes from alpaca's natural fiber shades. Alpacas produce wool in more than twenty natural shades, and cream, fawn, warm brown, and grey are woven into a classic striped pattern. The result is a rustic, lodge-style wool blanket that pairs with farmhouse decor, cabin interiors, log homes, mountain cottages, ranch bedrooms, and natural-fiber bedding collections. Striped, neutral — suited to both modern and traditional decor.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM REAL WOOL — NATURAL, UNTREATED, AUTHENTIC - On arrival, this wool blanket may have a natural alpaca and sheep wool scent — the scent of pure, untreated fiber that has never been chemically deodorized. It fades within a couple of weeks. The texture is woolly and substantial, not like synthetic fleece, polyester, or microfiber fills. This blanket contains no synthetic fill — only 100% wool. Some fiber shedding is normal for natural wool and diminishes with regular use. These are characteristics of authentic, natural, untreated wool, not flaws.

EASY CARE — A MACHINE WASHABLE WOOL BLANKET - Spot clean as needed. For full washing: machine wash on a gentle cycle with no agitation, in cool water, using a wool-safe detergent. We make and recommend Outback Gold Wool Wash specifically for animal fibers. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat. Dry cleaning is also suitable. Unlike most heavyweight wool blankets in this quality range, ours is fully machine washable — no specialty dry cleaner required. Available in Twin, Full/Queen, and King sizes — for matching bed sets, dorm rooms, guest rooms, kids' rooms, RV beds, and camping setups.
