Garden Strata Fuchsia and Multi-Color Striped Acrylic Knit Ruana

Size: 26" L x 35" W

Alfredo Falcon

(1104)

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.”

Sacred Valley Heritage Colorful Backstrap Handwoven Alpaca Ruana Cape

Size: 70" L x 54" W

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Intricate geometric motifs come to life in radiant colors derived from natural dyes. Artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco work with ancestral techniques to create fashion for today and always. This elegant ruana cape is woven by hand of fine alpaca wool, prized by the ancient Inca for its lightweight warmth. The cloak of many colors includes red, goldenrod yellow, fuchsia and orange, among others.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom. This determines the size of the textile, the color combinations, and the patterns that will be woven.

The intensity of color can vary depending on the hardness of the water, the altitude and the local dye sources, making each textile a unique piece of handcrafted art.

100% baby alpaca long cardigan, 'Midnight Floral'

Karen

Absolutely gorgeous

I have been eyeing this sweater for months. Finally, I was able to save $20 off, so placed my order. I am a fan of Ana Fernandez's sweaters, and this one did not disappoint. The sweater fits me perfectly (size S). I can wear it buttoned down or not. The colors make it possible to wear with lots of different color slacks or jeans, although it is just a tad dressy for the latter. The pattern is woven in; at first I thought it was embroidered on, but I assure you it is woven as part of the garment. It truly is better in person than in the photo. And it is sooo soft. I absolutely love this item: the style, the overall pattern on the front, cuffs, and back, as well as its versatility. Ana has a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she designs next.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful, lightweight, well-made good of all season when gentle warmth is needed! I waited quite a while until I took the financial plunge to order it for myself, and so glad I finally did. Cannot wait to wear it!

MY favorite sweater

The colors are beautiful, although it is very lightweight it is actually quite warm. The knit is tight enough that I don't need to wear a cami or shirt under it unless I want to. Very nice quality and shipping was fast. Thank you so much
