The long low proportion gives the stripes a stacked quality up close that softens into surface texture at room distance. Lay it across the back of a linen sofa, and the superfine alpaca surface rests against the upholstery evenly, the 5.3 lbs holding it flat.
The alpaca that produces this fiber lives above 4,000 meters in the Peruvian highlands, where the conditions of that altitude produce a fleece that insulates efficiently at low weight. The 16% undyed Peruvian cotton woven through the blend anchors the structure, the alpaca producing the soft brushed finish across the full face.
