Irresistibly beautiful, this capelet is crocheted by hand women from Peru's Runakay Association. Featuring a turtleneck and scalloped hem, the ivory-hued capelet is knit of baby alpaca wool – a term that refers to the season's first shear, which makes it coveted for its warmth and lightweight softness.

"Crochet Feminine Neckwear"
This piece has a cowl neckline and drapes very beautifully. It?s light weight and really adds a nice touch of feminine softness to a plain top or dress. It?s very comfortable and has an almost lacy bouncy feel to it. It?s a nice piece to wear to add a bit of warmth and dress up an outfit in the cooler months.

This capelet looks even better in person, and Im looking forward to wearing it now that the temperatures are falling. I am very impressed with the quality of NOVICAs items.

"Beautiful!"
This item is every bit as nice as pictured! I am so happy with the way it looks on me over a white camisole. I am glad a ordered a large/xl, because it just fits. Normally i buy a size 10/12 or medium. So, i would caution, if you are much bigger than that, this might be rather tight on you. It is fitted at the bustline, hangs looser over the midriff and hips, as pictured.
