Alfredo Falcon of Peru designs this striped acrylic kimono-style ruana with bold colors and a mixture of geometric motifs. A touch of baby alpaca, the fine fleece from the season's first shearing, adds to the ruana's warmth and feel. Coconut shell buttons define a sleeve when buttoned. Lightweight, the ruana makes a wonderful layering piece.
Alfredo Falcon learned the craft of weaving from his parents, who learned from their parents before them. He says, "We have been a family devoted to the world of textiles for generations. I use modern colors but I remain true to Incan and colonial motifs."

I have been wearing this all the time this summer. I love it, it s the perfect thing for sitting on the patio in the evenings relaxing. I even wore it for camping, fun and colorful, cute, and practical and cozy.

This is so soft, softer than my cashmere. It is also very light. I am not sure if it will keep the code out because it is thin. I will have to try it today because it is -9c out. I thinknI do have to treasure it and buy a second one in case it breaks.
