This lovely throw blanket is woven in the hills outside of Otavalo, Ecuador by several artisans in the same family. The men weavers use their weight and strength to pull back on the alpaca yarns during the weaving process, ensuring a tight weave for our specifically designed cozy throws. After the throw is woven, the women artisans use a native plant called a Teasal to hand-brush the fibers repeatedly so the finished throw is extremely soft to the touch. Brushing with Teasal produces a beautifully soft, lustrous finish with a subdued shimmer under light. Then the throw is beautifully finished by our artisans who hand-tie knotted fringe on the long ends.
The colors are medium and dark grays and olive green. This throw has 4" hand-tied fringe on the long ends.
