Purchased this when an arm was in a sling and it was getting cold. It kept me warm when I needed. It is now in my car as an emergency garment to keep warm. It packs small and is very warm.
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.
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.
