Handloomed by master weavers in Peru, our Miska Collection alpaca throws blend contemporary design with the authenticity of traditional craftsmanship. Each throw is woven on a wooden loom using time-honored techniques—an intentional, meticulous process that gives the textile its refined, linen-like texture and beautifully airy feel.
Crafted from 100% Superfine Alpaca, the Miska throw celebrates the purity and sustainability of this exceptional natural fiber. Feather-light, breathable, and irresistibly soft, it offers a summery, effortless drape that makes it ideal for warm-weather styling or year-round layering.
The Ivory & Ink Pinstripe design introduces a modern, understated pattern that feels crisp and contemporary. Soft ivory fibers create a serene base, while fine ink-colored pinstripes add structure and visual interest.
Each throw is finished with hand-knotted black pom poms, a playful artisanal touch that brings movement, personality, and tactile elegance to the design. These subtle accents highlight the weaver’s hand in every inch of the textile.
Elevated, breathable, and thoughtfully handcrafted, the Miska Collection invites a sense of easy luxury into any space—perfect for those who appreciate modern design expressed through centuries-old Andean weaving mastery.
At Purple Nest Design, we are deeply committed to preserving the weaving arts, helping you to decorate your home with timeless textiles that tell a beautiful story.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who makes this?
Handloomed on traditional wooden looms by master weavers in the highlands of Peru.
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.
