Waratah | Double Density Alpaca Blanket | 240cm x 165cm
Description
Waratah (Totoracocha)
The Waratah Blanket brings warmth, depth and quiet character to the spaces you make your own. Its deep burgundy tone carries subtle plum undertones, creating a rich, grounded palette that feels equally at home across a bed, draped over a sofa, folded into a cabin retreat or wrapped around your shoulders on cool nights outdoors.
With a fuller double-density weave, Waratah offers a more substantial feel while remaining breathable and comfortable across changing seasons. Soft to the touch and designed for everyday use, it provides warmth without unnecessary heaviness, making it an easy layer to keep close from slow mornings through to evenings by the fire.
Handwoven in Ecuador, each piece carries the character of traditional textile craftsmanship. Slight variations in tone, weave and finish are part of its nature, reflecting a slower approach to making and a respect for materials designed to be lived with.
Waratah is woven from an 80% baby alpaca and 20% acrylic blend, combining the exceptional softness, warmth and breathability of alpaca with added durability for regular use, travel and season-after-season living.
