These are wondeful ruana's. Easily worn in the office, and in spring/autumn as outerwear. The color here is more like a medium/flecked/mottled or cocoa brown, like the lightest parts seen in the photograph.
Alpaca is so soft and warm, and the intricate pattern woven into this sophisticated shawl dress it up. The workmanship is excellent and the colors work well for work too evening.
This is a beautifully made ruana that is perfect for wrapping yourself up in to read a book, watch a movie or browse the internet. I've also thrown it over my casual wear to take the dogs for hike or just go out and get the mail on a cold day. It has an almost medieval monastic quality that I really like as I'm not a flashy dresser.
