Alpaca fibers go a long way between cleaning. We encourage you to hang your Alpaca blanket outside, avoiding direct sunlight, to air it out occasionally as dry cleaning is not good for the environment. When the day comes that you do need to clean your Alpaca blanket or throw, please read the care instructions on the garment first or dry clean only. This means washing will result in shrinkage and loss of fabric smoothness, even using careful methods. Unless the blanket states “washable”, please dry clean only.
