NATURAL ALPACA WOOL,
AN ELEGANT GIFT FROM THE ANDES
Alpaca wool is a natural wonder, sought after for its delicate texture and unparalleled performance. Avocado Alpaca Wool Blankets are lavishly soft and highly breathable. All colors are the result of the 22 naturally occurring hues of alpaca — without the use of chemical dyes. The result is a luxurious blanket designed with sustainability at the forefront.



ROYAL FIBERS
Living in the harsh, wind-swept Andes at elevations above 12,000 feet, alpaca developed a highly sophisticated wool. It has the delicate texture of cashmere, the luster of silk, and the functionality of sheep’s wool. It is lightweight, temperature- and moisture-regulating, flame-resistant, and antimicrobial. It isn’t itchy and it’s hypoallergenic. Once reserved for Incan royalty, alpaca wool is now one of the most sought-after fibers in the world.

FINE FABRICS,
NATURALLY DYED
Avocado Alpaca throws are available in 12 distinct earth-tone colors and patterns. The fibers in our Alpaca Wool Blankets are naturally cleaned and dyed, without the use of harsh chemicals. In fact, because alpaca wool has a low grease content, fewer resources are needed to clean the fiber. Our plaid and ombre versions utilize “baby alpaca,” which refers to the finest, softest fabric on the animal (typically the chest), and not its age. Baby alpaca is a more sustainable luxury fiber than merino or cashmere.
A CARBON NEGATIVE PRODUCT
In 2019, Avocado Green Mattress became the first mattress company to become Climate Neutral Certified, effectively making our business “carbon neutral.” A year later, we took it a step further by going carbon negative — offsetting more carbon emissions than the company generates. Carbon offsets are vehicles for paying to remove carbon from the atmosphere or to prevent greenhouse gases from getting there in the first place by financing things like forest conservation or clean energy.

Return Policy
-
The Alpaca Wool Throws are covered by a 30-day return policy. Stained, unsanitary, or damaged throws are not eligible for return. The 30-day period begins after you receive your throw. If you decide that your Alpaca Wool Throw isn't right for you, please contact us. Once we confirm receipt, you’ll receive a full refund minus the shipping cost. The funds can only be returned to the original form of payment.
Exclusions: (1) Our serviceable area for complimentary returns is the 50 states of the United States only, including Alaska and Hawaii. If your throw is located outside the USA, you are responsible for any costs associated with return of the product. Avocado is not responsible for any costs incurred from repackaging and cannot reimburse customers for a replacement box or packaging services. (2) If you finance your purchase via Affirm, you’ll receive a full refund less any applicable financing fees paid to date directly via Affirm. (3) Products must be in a condition suitable for donation to be eligible for return (i.e., no stains, tears, excessive odors or soiling). We request photo(s) to confirm that your throw is in appropriate condition to be donated. Protect your purchase by following the care instructions. (4) Our return policy is limited to one of each applicable product type per household. If you exchange a product, it ends your trial period for that product type (mattress, topper, base, sheets, protectors, pads, throws) and no other sleep trials are eligible for your household in the future for that product type. (The only exception is pillows, for which two may be returned from a single order, since they are often bought in pairs.) We define this household-wide policy by your customer name, or shipping address, or billing method/account or billing address. -
