Gorgeous striking color with striking pattern. Just received today - can't wait for winter. It is medium weight, as another reviewer pointed out, but it will be very warm. (This is not my first alpaca blend poncho/ruana from Alfredo Falcon.)

Love this beige or tan alpaca ruana, so elegant and beautiful. The fabric is gorgeous with also crochet details on the edges. Perfect layer and thickness. This color goes with everything since its a plain color that goes well with any other color. Its perfect for spring too in this light tone. I highly recommend it and also this artisan. Its great quality. And it looks so fashionable, yet very practical. I have neck and nerve issues to my arms and hands so I love ruanas, opened in the middle, over ponchos. I hope that she make it in other colors too. And she continues making beautiful ruanas like this one, in other styles. I wanted another beige one but in a blend material with ruffled edges, because I already has one that I love in black and white, but it was sold out. I picked this one then, and it was a great choice too. This one seems thicker with more alpaca, so warmer, so it can be worn when its cold in the winter. I hope that this artisan bring back the blend ones again.

I wore my Ruana to Washington, DC and received many compliments for its beautiful colors of deep green and blue. Its very warm and was the perfect light cover for a fall day viewing Smithsonian museums. I feel very elegant wearing it.
