"Lovely Shawl"

The pattern, shape and color of this shawl are beautiful, and great to wear over dresses. It reminds me of old shawls made in Spain, so I love this style. Its 100% alpaca so its a bit itchy on my very delicate skins, so Im using it with dresses with sleeves preferably. I chose black but she also has beautiful ones in cream color. I wish that they were also offered in 100 % cotton to wear in the summer because I get cold with AC. Thank You for such beautiful craftsmanship.

This hat will fit most heads wonderfully well (some knit hats are just too snug on my head), is very well made, and looks cute on for a warm hat.

"Thick and warm!"

This hat is plush, thick, ample in fit, and warm. It has become my go-to hat in winter. I am so grateful that Maria makes hats that the cold winds dont blow through. It is attractive, too. If this were available in more colors, I would definitely buy them!

"My favorite alpaca hat!"

Finally a hat that is thick enough to actually be warm, and big enough to actually cover your whole head and ears. Plus it is attractive and the colors go with almost everything. Maria has created a beauty, and I fondly think of her whenever I wear it.
