ISO patterned throw blanket, high-quality materials

Edit: Apparently Etsy is not a good place to estimate a budget! Didn’t even know how common drop-shipping was until the comments rolled in. Might have to make it myself! Thanks everyone for the input.

Hi! I was searching Etsy for a nice patterned throw blanket, and realized there are probably some great local artists who can help me out.

My general specs (for now— I will probably want more than one in the near future!)
- size: throw blanket (around 71”x51”, but totally flexible)
- materials: pref. alpaca/baby alpaca. Open to other materials (yak wool?), but I’m sensitive to lanolin, so partial lambswool is maybe my limit.
- use: as a lap blanket at my desk at work
- style: not one solid color or “micro pattern” (aka no herringbone). Would love a pattern (non-floral). Maybe a geometric pattern like this or this but doesn’t have to be exactly like those. Also open to superwide stripes (like, 6 stripes for the whole blanket). Not sure about colors yet, but I don’t want just black and white (but brown and cream might be ok).
- budget: under $50? If that’s unreasonable I can increase (I have no idea) and if it’s commissioned of course I will pay more, up to $85 probably?

Thanks in advance for any leads or suggestions on artists who already have these in stock/in their repertoire, or who I can reach out to to commission something.
