Great blanket. Stitching on the edges seems high quality. It's incredibly soft and warm. The carrying bag that came with it is durable and a nice touch. I do wish the pattern were a little more interesting / prominent (it's just one band on either end), but that's the only thing I'd change.

I now own 5 of these alpaca blankets. We live in the mountains where nights are cold, even in the summer. These are splendid blankets, so soft and warm. I would highly recommend.

This is a very nice blanket. Warm and soft to the touch, not at all scratchy against the skin. It does shed a lot though, I’ll have to keep a light bedspread over it to try and keep the shedding wool under control.

This blanket is beautiful and extremely soft! You should definitely get one :)

It’s our second winter using the alpaca blanket and we absolutely love it! It’s warm, very soft and high quality overall! This purchase was a rare case when received item exceeds your expectation.

I "camp in". Camping in means saving money by running the heat low during the winter. I have developed a whole system for sleeping in a cold house.

The key ingredient in this system are good blankets. Sheepskin, down, electric, etc. Along with that, things like innovative Aerogel insulation is a viable component of a good blanket system.

I decided, however, to make an alpaca blanket the main blanket, and to buy that blanket from this company.

(1) The primacy of alpaca
After years of research, I've concluded Alpaca is the best overall material for clothing to keep warm with, wool, cashmere, down, fur, Aerogel, silk, leather, etc. following after.

(2) The integrity of this company
It is known there is some fraud in the alpaca industry. A label claim of alpaca alone doesn't necessarily make something alpaca. I bought a sweater from this company and there is little doubt that the sweater is what it claimed to be: 100% alpaca.

(3) Based on those two reasons, I bought the king size blanket. I believe it is what they say it is: a good balance of alpaca and merino.

I sleep tested the blanket for the first time last night, as we've gotten a rare mid-Fall cold spell here in the DC area.

In the morning, using an infrared thermometer, I measured the temperature in the room and under the blanket. The room was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit; under the blanket, about 70 degrees. Now, that was just a preliminary "rough draft" test.

But it impressed me: the only other insulation besides the blanket was a sleeping bag not rated for cold weather.

I add my recommendation to that of the others here.

This blanket is massive and beautiful! We have only just received it, but we are in love! It is much bigger than most king sized blankets and oh so soft! We are in love with it already.

We LOVE this blanket. It's huge, super warm, and so so natural, grounding, and beautiful feeling.

Keep me warm, attractive blanket with beautiful color
