Alpaca blankets from Ecuador

EcuaFina alpaca blankets are the ultimate gift for your home. They are made in Ecuador by local people from the Andes mountains. All alpaca blankets are selected by Rebecca, our founder, from local Andean communities. By purchasing from EcuaFina you support the hardworking craftsmen and women of Ecuador.

Alpaca native blankets

The wool blankets are made of 70% alpaca wool, 20% cotton and 10% acrylic. This blend of raw materials ensures that the material is strong, warm and super soft! This keeps the blankets beautiful for a long time.

Our signature SouthWestern alpaca woolen blankets add a warm aesthetic to any decor style and can be used indoors or outdoors. Perfect as a cover over your bed, as a blanket on the couch or even for a picnic in the park or beach. The names of these blankets are named after various volcanoes in Ecuador, such as the Chimborazo and the Cotopaxi.

Reversible blankets

The blankets are reversible. You can use it with the bright colors on top or you can flip it over to use with the lighter colors. The beautiful ethnic designs are always visible. Every day you can choose how to use the reversible blanket; brighter or softer side. 

Alpaca large blankets

The large blankets are 225 cm wide and 190 cm long. The SouthWestern design makes the blankets look beautiful in every type of interior. The alpaca blankets are personally selected by Rebecca. There is a strict selection on quality. Rebecca selects the products for her webshop on honesty. Everything is purchased directly from the local communities. So when you buy an alpaca blanket, you support the local population of Ecuador. Because the blankets are made in small numbers, there may be small differences in color, size or composition.

Washing instructions

It is best not to wash the blankets but to let them air out. Alpaca wool is self-cleaning and by allowing the wool to air, any unpleasant odors disappear. But if there really is a stain, it is wise to wash the blanket. You can do this in the washing machine on a wool or hand wash program, preferably no higher than 30 degrees. Use washing powder with a neutral pH value or wool detergent. 

If you do not trust to put the blanket in the washing machine, you can also wash it by hand. For a hand wash, use cold water and wool detergent. Use plenty of water and don't rub. Remove the excess water from the blanket with your hands, but do not wring. Rinse with cold water and pat the blanket with a dry towel until most of the water is gone.

Wool drying

After washing, do not put the blankets in the dryer but dab excess water from the blankets and let it dry lying or hanging. Try to squeeze as much water out of the blanket as possible and let it dry flat over a drying rack or towel. Ironing the blanket is not necessary.
