Alpaca Wool Solid Wrap Ruana from Peru, "Lush Dark Brown"
Felipe Berckholtz selects the warm, soft textures of alpaca in warm dark brown hue for this ruana. The ruana is woven with the wool from the season's first shear, termed baby alpaca and much sought after for its soft, lightweight warmth. The ancient Inca discovered the attributes of this fiber, reserving it for the exclusive use of the aristocracy.

"Alpaca Ruana Lush Dark Brown"
These are wondeful ruanas. Easily worn in the office, and in spring/autumn as outerwear. The color here is more like a medium/flecked/mottled or cocoa brown, like the lightest parts seen in the photograph.

"Its a privilege, honor and a joy"
Its a privilege, and honor and a joy to have this wonderful scarf. The richness of color, incredible softness, and warmth (in such a lightweight scarf!) are extraordinary. Im very grateful for your aristry, Sr. Berckholtz, and magnificent wool of the alpacas. Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I look forward to buying another as a gift for a special person.

"My Christmas present to myself!"
This ruana is absolutely beautiful! The color is beautiful - closer to a cream tan than the picture shows. It is soft, cuddly, and sooo packable. Perfect for flights and to wear to dressy and casual events. I plan it as a regular to the symphony with a sparkly pin at the shoulder. Dis I forget to mention deliciously warm?
