Benefits of Alpaca Wool
Alpaca wool is known for its exceptional properties, making it an ideal choice for those seeking comfort, warmth, and sustainability. Here are some of its most notable benefits:
-
Natural Softness : Alpaca wool is remarkably soft, much softer than sheep wool, making it ideal for those looking for comfortable, soft-touch fabrics.
-
Thermoregulatory : This fiber has the ability to regulate body temperature, which means it maintains warmth in winter and provides coolness in summer, adapting to the user's needs in different seasons of the year.
-
Light but Warm : Although it is a lightweight fiber, alpaca wool provides warmth that can be up to seven times greater than that of sheep wool, offering a feeling of comfort without being heavy.
-
Hypoallergenic : Unlike other wools, alpaca wool does not contain lanolin, making it less likely to cause skin irritation. This makes it a perfect choice for people with sensitive skin.
-
Durability : Thanks to its unique structure, alpaca fiber is extremely resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that products made from this wool have a long lifespan and remain soft and comfortable over time.
Design that Combines Functionality and Aesthetics
The WASI Blanket is not only a decorative piece, but also a functional piece that brings comfort and elegance to any home. With its clean, minimalist design, it perfectly complements contemporary, Nordic, or even more rustic-style spaces. Its versatility allows it to be used both indoors and outdoors, adapting to different environments in your home.
Handmade in Peru: A Touch of Tradition and Culture
Each WASI blanket is handmade in Peru, a country with a rich textile tradition dating back thousands of years. Peruvian artisans use ancient techniques to create products that are not only beautiful but also convey the history and culture of their regions. By choosing a WASI blanket, you are not only purchasing a high-quality product, but also supporting the preservation of cultural traditions.
