Extremely versatile sweater

This alpaca cardigan is great for between season wear and is made warmer if you wear a long-sleeved item under it in the dead of winter. I love the fringed bottom and the fabulous colors that work for both warm and cool color types. Beautiful and well done piece. Fits well with my indigenous clothing collection.

Lovely, warm ruana

I am very impressed with this garment. The colors and patterns are very intricate. It is finished nicely also. I will enjoy wearing it. The buttons on the sides help give the ruana shape.
