Who is thinking about a lightweight throw for a little warmth in the month of May? THIS shivering soul. Springtime temps here in Northern Illinois are more erratic than the stock market (or menopausal mood swings!). 🙂 Happy to share peeks of a greige-y timeless alpaca handwoven throw from Purple Nest Design destined to become a cherished heirloom.
Timeless Warmth & Superfine Alpaca
Purple Nest Design’s Allira Collection offers a stunning, linen-like, handloomed throw that looks amazing anywhere I toss it.
The light grey and white colorway is just right for our greige interiors, and these photos hardly do it justice. I wish you could feel the cozy softness. This fluffy alpaca hints at the texture…
So sweet! You already know I love these creatures:
So much personality!
Alpaca Throw Made in Peru
Handloomed by master artisans in Peru and far from ordinary, each throw is a work of unique art. Its traditional timelessness means the investment is safe; no trendy colors, fibers, or patterns here.
Since I haven’t experienced this high level of quality alpaca fibers and craft before, I’m a tad awestruck. Curious about the habits of these animals who benefit from being sheared?
Alpacas are very special to South America.
In contrast to fuzzy wuzzy examples from more common fibers, this alpaca throw from Purple Nest Design artisans is more delicate and refined. But where would you use or display such a lovely handwoven piece?
Goodness, it worked absolutely everywhere for me! I first draped it on our Belgian linen slipcovered sofa in the family room and…BOOM, it looks as though it belongs there.
As an Accent on a New Bed
At the foot of a bed (this one in a guest room is new!), it’s pretty perfect layered with a flax-hued quilt and pure white bedding. Here’s the bed in case you’re in the market:
This is the first platform bed we have owned, and I wasn’t sure about the low profile or ditching the boxspring, but it’s just as comfy with the platform base.
But what about casually tossed on a Louis chair near the piano? A lightweight wrap of warmth as I tickle ivories on a chilly morning? Yes, please.
I love introducing ethically sourced natural textiles at home while offering support to the artistry of the Andes!
The Allira Collection Throw is not at all small! This baby measures 70 x 50 inches.
Made from 94% Alpaca and 6% Recycled Polyamide, it can be washed on delicate cycle or drycleaned.
Do visit Purple Nest Design to see more lovely creations from brilliant artisans!
Peace to you right where you are.
