“This is beautiful”

I wanted something made from ALpaca wool. This is beautiful. The item is soft and a nice color. The pattern is lovely. Wonderful as an accent piece in the winter or nice to keep the chill off your shoulders during a cool summer night or in air conditioning.

“Wonderful Way for Extra Warmth”

Beautifully woven shawl. When folded up it takes up almost no room - small enough to put in your purse. A must for cool summer evenings and cool winter rooms!

“Lovely Soft and Natural!”

This scarf feels soft and warm and is beautifully made. It is a bit too narrow and long to be used as a shawl though which is what I purchased it for.

“So lovely and practical.”

This is a lovely cardigan. And it is nice and warm. The craftsmanship is excellent. The fact that it was handmade makes it that much more special.

Can be casual as well as dressed up with accessories

“Versatile cardigan”

I just received my long cardigan and tried it on. It s a beautiful cranberry red color, the knit is fine and it feels very light. The design is very nice with the wide collar and different pattern sleeves. I plan to take on my trip to Europe in a couple of weeks to wear with pants and over a plain black dress. I gave it four stars because the edges roll up and the sleeves could be wider to wear over shirts but this doesn t distract from how nice it looks.
