Fall Black Alpaca Patterned

I purchased this for a Christmas gift for my daughter. As a handweaver I can appreciate the expert craftsmanship of the wrap and high quality of the yarn. My daughter loved it and she’ll be enjoying it for years to come.

I hesitated to purchase this because of "one size fits most" sizing. The poncho is so stunning that I decided to take the plunge. The package arrived beautifully wrapped, and I saw that the poncho was perfect. I am 5' 10", and the poncho falls well below my lower hip area until about 5 inches above my knee. Love the poncho styling with the unique soft collar that drapes over the neckline. I own lots of wraps, and the design of this piece appealed to me since it won't fall off my shoulders because of side stitched sleeve openings. Fabric is soft and nice weight (alpaca/acrylic/wool). The Inca Claret design is a modern twist on traditional Peruvian textile motifs. The center torso is black, and the red/black graphic design runs down either side. Front and back are identical. High quality workmanship. Easy to wear casual/dressy and perfect for travel. My new "go to" wrap!

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.
