Four hundred grams of alpaca wool to every square metre makes a duvet for the whole year. In a European climate it is comfortable in spring and autumn, in winter and on cooler summer nights. In a hard frost some will throw a blanket on top, and in a July heatwave move under a sheet — but for most of the year it is enough on its own. How warm a duvet feels depends on more than the filling: the temperature of the bedroom, what you sleep in, and whether you feel the cold or always run hot all play a part.
Wool that adjusts to you
Alpacas live high in the Andes, where frost turns into scorching heat within a day. Their fleece has adapted to this and changes its behaviour with the temperature. In a duvet it works like this: when you are cool it warms you, and when your body heats up it stops.
The wool absorbs moisture but does not hold on to it — it passes it straight out, so it stays dry under the duvet and you do not sweat. Alpaca wool contains no lanolin, the animal fat many allergy sufferers react to, which is why people with allergies and asthma tolerate it well.
Quilted by hand
The duvet is quilted by hand, not by machine, and a hand stitch follows a different logic. The filling lies in an even layer and does not bunch up in the corners. Warmth spreads over the whole surface, and no cold strips form along the seams, as they can in machine-quilted duvets.
A cotton cover
On the outside is 100% natural, densely woven cotton: light, breathable, silky to the touch, with a soft natural sheen. The fabric is white, finished with blue piping; the piping comes in white or in blue with a pattern.
Loops in the corners
Small loops are sewn into every corner and the middle of every side. If your duvet cover has ties, the duvet is tied to them and stops bunching up inside, and its corners no longer slip out of the cover's corners. The same loops tie two duvets into one — an all-season and a summer duvet together make a winter one.
Care
Air the duvet outdoors. If it needs cleaning, take it to a gentle dry cleaner. Do not machine-wash it: alpaca wool felts, and washing against the label voids the right to a complaint.
