Peruvian Alfredo Falcon, who presents this warm and soft poncho, is a third-generation textile artisan. "When I was but a small child I learned from my parents the best weaving techniques – like me, they had learned them from their own parents," he states. Using a blend of alpaca, acrylic and wool, he crafts this cable-knit poncho in versatile black. Two buttons along the poncho's sides serve to create very loose-fitting arm holes, and all of the garment's borders have ribbing, including the crew neckline. With a relaxed fit, this poncho is just as comfortable to wear in the warmer indoors as it is in the nippy outdoors.

"Feminine AND modest!"
Beautiful and well made, this poncho is light, airy and surprisingly warm! It provides a lot of coverage, but is still sleek and very elegant. I have it layered over leggings and a long sleeved athletic shirt… I can take it off, change my shoes and hit the gym. There are so many colours in this poncho; it creates a lot of mix and match options. It s a fantastic wardrobe piece and looks great on many different body types. I wish there were other colour combinations available!

"pretty light weight poncho"
I always receive compliments when I where this light weight poncho. Perfect for slightly cool days. Love the colors! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it looks a little cheap.
