Fuchsia and Multi-Color Striped Acrylic Knit Ruana, "Garden Strata"
Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped acrylic kimono-style ruana with bold colors and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing, adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Coconut shell buttons define a sleeve when buttoned. Lightweight, the ruana makes a wonderful layering piece.
Alfredo Falcon learned the craft of weaving from his parents, who learned from their parents before them. He says, "We have been a family devoted to the world of textiles for generations. I use modern colors but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

"Luxurious!"
I like these ponchos so much I own 4! They are light-weight yet warm. The alpaca feels luxurious and soft. These are great for crisp fall days. A client liked one I had on one day while on Zoom so she bought one for herself! In the winter they are a staple around the house. They are much better than a sweater because my arms are free. Very versatile. I highly, happily recommend. Thank you, Alfredo! I love your beautiful vision and work.
