Artisan Paola Cuentas takes full advantage of one of the treasured resources of her native Peru and uses 100% alpaca fleece to craft this warm yet lightweight hooded sweater. Rich mahogany slowly mixes with a tan hue and that in turn melds with a champagne tone as the sweater's striped design shifts from darker colours at the top to lighter ones at the bottom. The long-sleeved knit sweater features a kangaroo pocket, excellent for keeping hands warm or for carrying small objects such as cash or electronic devices.

"A work of art"
A little background: the most cherished garment here is a 100% alpaca sweater that has been seen intensive use over years and been washed numerous times and is still in great condition.So I ordered this hoody hoping it would be of the same quality, and it seems to be.But beyond function, the form of this hoody evokes the land from which it originates. The horizontal gradations of earth colors bring to mind the open ranges that start in the lowlands and reach into the mountains where the alpaca roam in their natural habitat. (Ive never been there, so that impression is just based on videos.)Its pretty neat that I get to wear this stunning and original design.

"So warm and comfortable"
This is a beautiful sweater, well designed, comfortable and so warm! Alpaca has the warmth of regular wool without the heaviness and bulkiness. It is wonderful that this talented artisan can share her skills and her culture while earning a living doing something that she clearly loves.

"This is a daily wear!"
Love the fit and weight. The arms could be a bit wider because using them over a shirt makes it tight
Best Uses
- Nice color for every day
