"These are addictive!"
A beautiful shawl, in a good, wearable size. Soft and lightweight and warm. You should know, though, that gossamer wine and maroon are the same color! I would love to see some new colors, and not just new names for the same colors.

"exquisite weave"
This is a really beautiful, open weave--shell-like pattern. Its not as soft as what I expected for 100% baby alpaca.

"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.

"A luxurious handmade article"
The alpaca scarf is luxuriously soft, a perfect ensemble for men or women, very cashmere like except warmer, and blends with nearly any color coordination. This is my second piece from this artist and he is really a first tier craftsman. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
