Title: Synthetic
Review: These "100% alpaca" blankets definitely have synthetic fibers. I became suspicious because of these things:* After a hot washer and dryer treatment, these blankets DID NOT FELT. Alpaca, like all animal woolens, is supposed to felt.* Flame test revealed that the blanket fibers melted into a hard plastic ball. REAL alpaca fur will smell like burned hair/fur and won't melt into a hard plastic ball. REAL alpaca will burn and produce a gray ash.* Fibers did not feel like animal fur/woolens. These blankets felt like synthetic plush toys.I finally visited an alpaca farm and felt REAL alpaca fur and blankets. These were confirmed to have synthetic fibers by the alpaca ranch. These DID NOT FEEL LIKE THE REAL ALPACA FUR AND BLANKETS.PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME - THESE BLANKETS ARE NOT 100% ALPACA FUR. If the price is too good to be true - you know how that goes.I'm searching for real alpaca blankets from a reputable brand now that I know how to confirm whether the alpaca blanket is real or fake.
