Elegant and beautiful alpaca ruana
Love this beige or tan alpaca ruana, so elegant and beautiful. The fabric is gorgeous with also crochet details on the edges. Perfect layer and thickness. This color goes with everything since it's a plain color that goes well with any other color. It's perfect for spring too in this light tone. I highly recommend it and also this artisan. It's great quality. And it looks so fashionable, yet very practical. I have neck and nerve issues to my arms and hands so I love ruanas, opened in the middle, over ponchos. I hope that she make it in other colors too. And she continues making beautiful ruanas like this one, in other styles. I wanted another beige one but in a blend material with ruffled edges, because I already has one that I love in black and white, but it was sold out. I picked this one then, and it was a great choice too. This one seems thicker with more alpaca, so warmer, so it can be worn when it's cold in the winter. I hope that this artisan bring back the blend ones again.
How beautiful!
I ordered this sweater in hopes it fit well and that it would go with my jean's and a few other slacks. The sweater fits perfectly, buttoned and open, looks great with my wardrobe, and is absolutely soft and cuddly. The middle horizontal band falls correctly at my wasteline and the sleeves were just the right length. One other admirable quality is that when on, the patterns and bands line up really well so I won't constantly be adjusting it. The mini-scallop detail at the hem is sweet. I didn't even notice it in the photo. The overall color is a deep blue, but in certain light, it can look a bit purple. I assure you it is blue. I love this sweater and highly recommend it for those who wear a size small, especially. That's my true size (4). The fabric s a little stretchy. I can't wait to wear it for friends see. In fact, I like it so much, I sat down before writing this review and ordered another in a different color. Congratulations to the artist for getting everything just right.
