This blanket is made from 100% fine baby Alpaca fleece. The term 'baby Alpaca' refers to a type of alpaca fiber that is rare - it does NOT mean the fiber was taken from a baby alpaca!  It is as soft as cashmere, warmer than sheep's wool, hypoallergenic and almost completely waterproof.  Caring for it is simple - just wash with Baby Shampoo. In a world growing weary of synthetic materials and enthusiastically turning toward eco-friendly choices, this blanket of natural alpaca fiber with no dye offers an opportunity for consumers to wear soft, warm, durable, natural garments
