Description
Description
Hand-finished by artisans in the Peruvian Andes, the Muru Collection showcases refined craftsmanship rooted in generations of textile knowledge. Each throw is thoughtfully created using a luxurious combination of undyed baby alpaca and Peruvian Pima cotton—two exceptional natural fibers admired for their softness, durability, and sustainable origins.
The throw’s elegant cable knit pattern creates rich, dimensional texture, reflecting a deep connection to Andean textile traditions. The alpaca fibers are left completely undyed, preserving their natural ivory tones and subtle variations that highlight the purity of the fleece. These soft, eco-friendly hues give the throw a warm, timeless character that works beautifully in any season or interior style.
Composed of 68% undyed ivory alpaca and 32% Peruvian Pima cotton, this textile offers a gentle, breathable warmth with a luxuriously smooth feel—bringing understated sophistication to any space. The ends of the blanket are finished with hand-crocheted detailing in a modern design, creating a refined and luxurious final touch.
Every piece in the Muru Collection honors the artistry of Peruvian artisans and celebrates the beauty of natural materials.
At Purple Nest Design, our mission is to help preserve these heritage techniques, offering you meaningful, artisan-made textiles that enrich your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who makes this?
Hand-finished by skilled artisans in Peru, who complete each throw with hand-crocheted ends.
Is alpaca itchy?
No. Alpaca has no lanolin and a smoother fiber than wool, so most people who find wool scratchy find alpaca soft.
How is alpaca different from wool or cashmere?
Alpaca is warmer than wool for its weight, yet light and breathable thanks to its hollow fiber, so it works year-round. It is also stronger than cashmere: cashmere is soft but delicate, while alpaca gives you softness that lasts for years with simple care.
