The alpaca softness, colors and stitching of this sweater have made this my absolute favorite -- and I have A LOT of sweaters! I wore it recently on a trip and got so many compliments. The picture just does not do it justice!

I have had this poncho for several years now. It is fantastic, beautifully made, warm, comfortable. I wore it, I traveled with it, I slept under it. It shows no sign of wear, still gorgeous. Undeniable beauty of this poncho is paired with strong character and authenticity. It carries such a generous spirit of adventure. And it is made to last. I often think of people who made it, their skill and care and my gratitude is boundless. Thank you.

I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and am very familiar with alpaca fiber. This sweater is a gorgeous piece - meticulously well-made and I know it will last a lifetime. It is worth more than the asking price. And as baby alpaca fiber (before the first shearing), it has a loft and softness that feels wonderful next to my skin. I am pleased with my purchase.
