Inside Paqari
Why does it cost $275?
It is 520 grams of 100% baby alpaca at 21 to 23 micron, woven in Peru and finished by hand. No blends, no synthetics. Sold direct, with no middleman. With proper care, alpaca textiles are known to last 20 to 40 years.
What does “baby alpaca” mean?
It is a fiber grade, set by how fine the fiber is. It does not mean a young animal or a first shearing. Ours measures 21 to 23 micron.
Can I machine wash it?
No. Dry cleaning is preferred. You can also hand wash in cold water with a wool wash or pH-neutral detergent, without agitating or wringing. Dry it flat on a towel, never hang it wet, and never tumble dry. Between cleanings, air it outdoors in shade.
How big is it?
51 × 71 in (130 × 180 cm), 520 g. Big enough to wrap your shoulders on the sofa or lie across the foot of a queen bed. The Twin Blanket, now on preorder, is 200 × 150 cm.
Is alpaca good for people who react to wool?
Alpaca contains no lanolin, which is the source of most wool and cashmere allergies. If you have a known fiber allergy, check with your doctor first.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Choose Shop Pay, Klarna or Afterpay at checkout to split the $275 into 4 interest-free payments of $68.75, subject to approval.
