Intricate Artisan Alpaca Blanket
A Masterpiece of Heritage – Handwoven Alpaca Blanket by Leonarda Puclla Churata (her daughter is pictured)
Wrap yourself in generations of wisdom and warmth with this handwoven alpaca blanket, a breathtaking creation by Leonarda Puclla Churata, a 56-year-old master weaver from Huacahuasi, Peru. Measuring 46.4 inches by 43.2 inches, this intricately woven piece is more than just a blanket—it is a living story of Andean culture, skillfully preserved in every thread.
Crafted from 100% pure alpaca wool, this blanket offers the unmatched softness and warmth for which alpaca fiber is famed. Naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, it provides cozy comfort in colder seasons while remaining light enough for year-round use. Alpaca wool is known for its exceptional durability and gentle feel against the skin, making this blanket both a functional and luxurious treasure.
Leonarda, with decades of experience at her loom, has poured her heart and heritage into this design. Each woven motif carries deep cultural meaning, drawn from the surrounding mountains, ancestral myths, and symbols passed down through Quechua generations. The intricate patterns featured in this piece are not just decorative—they are a form of storytelling, woven with intention and reverence.
The colors in this blanket come from natural, plant-based dyes, responsibly harvested from the Andean highlands. Using age-old techniques, Leonarda extracts pigments from native flowers, roots, and minerals, ensuring an eco-conscious process that honors both the Earth and her traditions. The result is a stunning interplay of hues that are at once earthy, vibrant, and authentically Peruvian.
Whether laid across your bed, draped over a sofa, or gifted as a meaningful heirloom, this blanket transforms any space with its artisanal charm and cultural depth.
By choosing this blanket, you directly support Leonarda and the weaving cooperative of Huacahuasi. Your purchase sustains traditional livelihoods, promotes indigenous craftsmanship, and helps ensure that future generations of women in the Andes can continue to weave their stories into the fabric of the world.
