ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Handwoven by skilled artisans in the highlands of Ecuador, this generous throw blanket brings the warmth and texture of traditional Andean craftsmanship into your daily rituals. Named after the Shuar people who call the space between rainforest and mountain home, each blanket carries the cultural heritage of its makers in every carefully crafted stitch.
Made entirely from post-consumer recycled acrylic yarn, this sustainable textile transforms discarded materials into something beautiful and lasting. The artisan process creates a soft, versatile blanket perfect for outdoor adventures, cozy indoor evenings, or transforming any space into a peaceful sanctuary.
At nearly eight feet long and six and a half feet wide, this substantial throw offers full coverage for two people or luxurious wrapping for one. The dusty palette of gentle greys and browns brings an earthy, grounded feeling to any setting while honoring the natural beauty of the Ecuadorian landscape that inspired its creation.

A chance encounter between two hearts from different worlds sparked something beautiful. When an entrepreneur from Quito met a volunteer from Nebraska in the highlands of Ecuador, they discovered a shared passion for the stunning textiles created by Indigenous artisans of Otavalo. Their first blanket purchase together became the seed of a larger vision.
The artisans behind these throws work in the vibrant tradition of their ancestors, using techniques passed down through generations of skilled hands. Each piece reflects not just craftsmanship, but a commitment to healthy working environments and sustainable practices, transforming post-consumer recycled materials into works of art.
This is conscious commerce at its most meaningful. Every throw represents a bridge between cultures, connecting the ancient weaving wisdom of Ecuador's Indigenous communities with conscious consumers who value authenticity and ethical sourcing. The work goes beyond borders, creating connections that honor both tradition and environmental responsibility.
