Traditional Handwoven Alpaca Blanket
Woven Warmth, Timeless Tradition – Handwoven Alpaca Blanket by Alejandrina Puma Mormontoy
Infused with ancestral knowledge and crafted with heartfelt precision, this intricately handwoven alpaca blanket, measuring 40 inches by 28.4 inches, is the soulful work of Alejandrina Puma Mormontoy, a 29-year-old artisan from the remote Andean village of Huacahuasi, Peru. This blanket is not only a functional textile but a rich tapestry of culture, identity, and endurance—woven line by line on a traditional backstrap loom.
Made from 100% locally sourced alpaca wool, this piece offers the unmatched softness, warmth, and breathability that only alpaca fiber can provide. Revered since Inca times, alpaca wool is known for its ability to regulate temperature and resist moisture, making it ideal for both cozy indoor moments and brisk mountain nights.
The blanket’s intricate geometric patterns and symbolic motifs are a visual language passed down through generations of Quechua women. Every line and diamond, every contrasting edge, tells a story—of mountain landscapes, spiritual beliefs, family unity, and Alejandrina’s own connection to the Pachamama (Mother Earth). Each thread is a testament to hours of skilled labor and meditative attention to detail.
Colors are naturally derived using ancient Andean dyeing traditions. The deep earth tones—warm browns, mineral reds, and dusky neutrals—come from native plants, roots, and insects, yielding hues that are gentle on the environment and long-lasting in their beauty. These sustainable dyes not only protect the land that nurtures the alpacas but also ensure that each blanket is eco-conscious and chemical-free.
Whether draped over a couch, layered at the foot of a bed, or displayed as a wall hanging, this blanket is a true statement piece—bringing heritage, texture, and authenticity into any space. It also makes a deeply meaningful gift, representing empowerment, ethical craftsmanship, and a connection to one of the world’s richest textile traditions.
By purchasing this piece, you’re not only welcoming a rare handmade treasure into your home—you’re directly supporting Alejandrina Puma Mormontoy and the collective strength of Huacahuasi’s women weavers as they preserve their traditions and uplift their community through their artistry.
Wrap yourself in legacy. Sleep beneath stories. Own a piece of the Andes.
