“One of my favorite sweaters”

This cardigan is truly fabulous and you can wear it in many ways. Depending on how you wear it, the sweater can be more western cowgirl or Indigenous in its look. I love it with a knit black dress or a long black skirt and top. Add some western boots for greater fun. I loved this one so much that I just ordered the shorter off-white and black trim version. Thank you Wilbur for a great piece of wearable art.

“Gorgeous Christmas Gift”

I bought this for my mother, and it is even more beautiful in person, thanks to the incredibly soft baby alpaca. Red is slightly rusty, just a little and it is more ivory on the pattern than white. My mother is 5 9 a size 10, the large fits her exactly.
