Hand-Finished Undyed Baby Alpaca & Peruvian Pima Cotton Cable Knit Throw Blanket | Light Tan | Muru Collection
Hand-finished by skilled artisans in the Peruvian Andes, the Muru Collection reflects their dedication and refined skill. Each throw is created with exceptional care using a premium blend of undyed baby alpaca and Peruvian Pima cotton—naturally sourced fibers treasured for their softness, strength, and long-lasting beauty.
The throw’s elegant cable knit pattern is made with remarkable accuracy, highlighting traditions that have been preserved through generations. The alpaca’s natural light tan shade is left completely undyed, allowing its organic depth and subtle tonal shifts to shine through. These warm, neutral hues result in a versatile textile that effortlessly complements any style or season.
Made with 68% undyed light tan alpaca and 32% Peruvian Pima cotton, this throw offers an inviting blend of breathability, comfort, and gentle warmth—bringing a sense of quiet sophistication to any living space. The ends of the blanket are finished with hand-crocheted detailing in a modern design, creating a refined and luxurious final touch.
Every piece in the Muru Collection is a tribute to authentic Andean craftsmanship and the artisans who continue to honor their cultural heritage through their craft.
At Purple Nest Design, our mission is to support and sustain these traditional techniques, offering timeless, meaningful textiles for your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who makes this?
Hand-finished by skilled artisans in Peru, who complete each throw with hand-crocheted ends.
Is alpaca itchy?
No. Alpaca has no lanolin and a smoother fiber than wool, so most people who find wool scratchy find alpaca soft.
How is alpaca different from wool or cashmere?
Alpaca is warmer than wool for its weight, yet light and breathable thanks to its hollow fiber, so it works year-round. It is also stronger than cashmere: cashmere is soft but delicate, while alpaca gives you softness that lasts for years with simple care.
