Testimonial For Fernando Cano
I purchased the Andean Twilight Hand Crafted Alpaca Wool Gloves and love them! I have larger hands, size 8.5, and these stretched to fit them! They would also fit smaller hands without any problems...the wool is so soft and stretchy without any itch...the best! The colors are true to the pictures, and the combination of colors are great and well coordinated. A highly recommended artist!
