Coastal Check Alpaca Throw

This is a joyful multicolour throw - calm and soft. Made with alpaca fibre - stronger than mohair, warmer than wool, softer than silk and finer than cashmere. Time to relax and unwind in comfort and colour.

Stay cozy and warm with the beautiful alpaca throws from Pokoloko. This throw is hand-loomed, machine-woven, and then machine-brushed for added softness. Use as a throw or even as a large shawl! This unique artisanal throw collection is made by a family of Indigenous artisans living in the volcanic mountains of Ecuador. Pokoloko has worked with this family since inception and co-owner Case Bakker is the godfather to their youngest daughter; a great honour in their community. Pokoloko has loved watching their operation grow and are thrilled to support them through a sustainable, fair trade relationship.

Alpaca is a natural, technical fiber that is lightweight, silky-smooth, hypoallergenic, and non-itchy. As a bonus, alpaca is one of the Earth's most sustainable fibers to make, because alpacas and alpaca fiber harvesting have a very low environmental impact.

Alpaca is lightweight, silky-smooth, hypoallergenic and non-itchy. This is a unique, fairly-traded, artisan-made textile with a luxurious, ultra-soft hand feel.
