Afterlight | Alpaca Wool Blanket | 248cm x 172cm
Description
Afterlight (Guagua)
A soft baby alpaca blend blanket in slate blue, muted green, straw and blush tones, made for colour, warmth and comfort that moves with you.
Its striped palette feels like the last light of day: slate blue, softened gum green, weathered straw and a quiet blush line through the weave. More colourful than our earthier pieces, Afterlight still feels calm and grounded, with a clean stripe design that brings warmth and character without feeling loud.
At 248 x 172 cm, Afterlight is generously sized and easy to use across settings. Layer it over a bed, fold it into the van, drape it across a camp chair, wrap it around shoulders beside the fire, or keep it close for cool mornings under canvas.
The Afterlight Blanket is woven from an 80% baby alpaca and 20% acrylic blend, bringing together the natural softness and warmth of baby alpaca with added durability for regular use. Baby alpaca is valued for its softness, warmth and lightness. Naturally insulating and breathable, it helps bring comfort as temperatures shift. The acrylic component adds strength and resilience, making the blanket well suited to travel, packing, airing and regular use between home, camp and elsewhere.
Handwoven in Ecuador and originally known as Guagua, Afterlight reflects the character of slower textile production and made to bring warmth and presence to the places you make your own.
Soft, warm and easy to carry, Afterlight is a practical comfort piece for open roads, slow weekends and places made your own.
