As colorful as the Andean textiles that served as inspiration for its design, this knit ruana features patterned and solid stripes in gorgeous hues such as blue-violet, kelly green, deep rose, amethyst and Tiffany blue. Peruvian artisan Alfredo Falcon crafts the lightweight ruana using a blend of acrylic and soft alpaca. Open in front, the ruana has two buttons along its sides that serve to create very loose-fitting arm holes. This accessory would look great over a turtleneck in a solid color matching one of the ruana's myriad colors.

Took it on recent trip. Perfect warmth with light weight. Great colors. Washed beautifully. Add palmful of salt to the wash for colorfastness. Thank you for your craftsmanship.

This is a beautiful piece! It is so soft and lightweight -- so perfect for any climate or season. I love the drape of it, and it isnt at all bulky or overwhelming on me. (For comparison, I am 5 6 117 lbs.) For springlike weather, this will be great over a t-shirt, (I wont have to think about what it goes with, since it has so many colors in it that complement my wardrobe) it will also add a Bohemian slant to a little black dress. Wonderful, precise workmanship -- obviously by someone who is not only an expert, but really cares about his work! Thank you!

Nice dark grey color and nice texture of fabric. Heavy enough for the colder nights and light enough for the chilly nights.

Beautiful comfortable top with such pretty colors. I usually wear just a solid-colored long-sleeved shirt underneath, works for going out and for just lounging around the house. Just FYI the material is fairly stretchy so if you re between sizes (I m usually between M and L myself) I d say size down!
