Details

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.

Lovely scarf!”

I just received this -- it does take a while to arrive. But the wait was definitely worth it. This scarf is feather light but very soft and warm. I love it!

Beautiful Construction and So Soft!”

This sweater has impeccable construction and is soft and very flowing. Unfortunately, because of my shorter frame it looks too big on me and overwhelms me. I cant go smaller because it is the S/M size. :(
