Thick Alpaca Wool Blanket Heavyweight Camping Outdoors Indoors Soft Peru King Size Solid Color Design (Dark Gray, King Size)

When I was a kid I used to love visiting my grandfathers farm because I had the distinction of getting to sleep on his Army cot and covering up with his Army wool blanket. Those were fond memories and they immediately sprang to life when I received my Alpaca wool blanket. It's not very thick but it doesn't need to be. This is a seriously warm wool blanket that is nice and soft to the touch and not itchy the way some wool blankets can be. It's machine washable which will come in handy of you have dogs that like to sleep in your bed like I do. Use the cold water setting, and you can machine dry it too. I'm not a big fan of winter but this blanket makes it more than tolerable.

In Peru in a small in the Andes mountains I bought a baby alpaca wool blanket and watched them make them. This blanket feels very similar and is definitely legit alpaca wool. It's not as soft as my baby alpaca blanket from Peru but it is softer than the merino wool counterfeit ones often found online sold as alpaca so it's probably fine alpaca wool. It's soft enough for the mrs and I to sleep with it next to our skin and feel cozy. Priced fairly from what I paid in Peru. They're made very well. Ours is very durable. Our dog paws at them when we're not looking to nest in it since it's so soft and he hasn't been able to loosen the weave and there are no runs in it. There was no smell often found with wool on arrival or after washing. Be advised it will shed but all wool sheds its just a part of it. I've bought two more of these since this one I love them so much. Another King and a travel size for taking to the park or lounging around on the couch or in hammocks in the back yard. It breathes and wicks moisture really well and keeps us warm in just about any temperature. We use it in the fall all the way to spring and even as it warms up it breathes and wicks so well that we don't get uncomfortable until it gets pretty warm. Wish they offered a lighter weight one we could use for the summer months. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

This is a quality blanket. It did not come with tags saying what the blend is, but I presume it is based on other reviewers notes and questions answered. (When it first arrived, it didn't appear to be in original packaging.) This blanket is lightweight but very warm. Feels better than my Pendletons. I did not have any issued with shedding. I put it in the dryer on no heat setting to grab any stray fibers. And there were none. It's a keeper.

I hesitated because I saw it was recycled hair but don’t let that put you off. It’s worth every penny. It’s extremely soft to the touch, not scratchy. Although it’s a throw size, I’m using it on the twin bed I sleep in as my main blanket. It covers adequately except a tad short to tuck in. I got blue and it’s a heavenly color, matching my duvet. It would be suitable for a throw as well, but it is very warm, not a light cover.

This Marino blanket is exactly what I was looking for; It's extremely soft to the skin, not too heavy and comfortable in cool weather.

This is super warm and am happy with the quality. It's a bit scratchy, but that's to be expected with wool. Overall really pleased with it, just careful not to ever take it outside my tent when camping and overall keep it in environments it won't get dirty because it's not something you can just throw in the washer. Even with that though, it's so nice to have a blanket worth putting over you instead of all the crappy acrylic throws that don't actually keep you warm.

I waited to review this blanket because I wanted to have it for a while first. Here are my thoughts: First, it looks really nice and is of good quality. Second, it is heavy. This is not a bad thing; actually, I like its weight. Third, other reviewers have complained that it sheds. Yes, mine did, too -- at first. Over time, perhaps 2-3 months, it shed less and less. After that, it didn't shed at all. So, if you're willing to endure a a few months of stray hairs -- I used a sticky roller on my sheet to remove them; it took all of 2-4 minutes each time that I made the bed -- then you can expect that it will eventually not shed anymore. Fourth, it is the heaviest, and warmest, blanket that I own. What I like about it is that it seems to know how warm it needs to keep me! On really cold nights, it keeps me warm. On warmer nights, but still cold, it keeps me warm (without my sweating under it). If the room is warm, then I will sweat under the blanket. In other words, the blanket is not designed for the summer, although, if you like keeping the a/c turned to a low temperature, then it can be used even then. Fifth, I like the natural fibers, and it's cool that I own something that came from an alpaca! In summary, I'm very happy with this blanket and am glad that I bought it. I use it frequently.

I am thrilled this this blanket. It is SO soft and warm. I've always liked alpaca products, but always felt they were a bit pricey. The price point was good, I thought, and I can see owning this as a heirloom.
