Alpaca Blend Hand Knitted Blanket
Creating dignified employment and healing community for Ukrainian refugee women one knitted good at a time.
Wrap yourself in comfort with the Alpaca Blend Hand Knitted Blanket. Crafted with Alpaca Flowers yarn, this blanket combines the gentle warmth of alpaca with the durability of acrylic. Its lightweight and breathable texture makes it a versatile piece for year-round use whether draped over a sofa, styled at the foot of a bed, or wrapped around your shoulders on a cool evening.
Each Alpaca Blend Blanket is hand-knitted with care by artisans through our Shared Trade partner, Love Rises. Born out of resilience, this collective provides dignified employment and community for women facing hardship, transforming threads of yarn into comfort, beauty, and hope. With every blanket, you support women artisans reclaiming their stories through purposeful work.
