Everyone loves this ! And the weight is perfect- not to heavy and not to light..great to wear a turtle neck under if its cooler!! I love this and look forward to getting more of your beautiful wear!!!!

"Beautiful Colors"





Very, very thin; extremely thin woven fabric. I will have to wait for much warmer weather to wear it than in the winter months unless I layer it with a thermal tee shirt.

"My Favorite"





Beautiful craftsmanship!!!!! Colors are exquisite and compliment my attire. Have gotten many compliments on this. Some say it is too thin, not the case. This is perfect for layering or all on it's own. Thank you!

"a wonderful gift"





I think my daughter-in-law will love it but it is definitely not heavy enough for winter days - more like after dark on a spring or fall evening. Thin - not heavy.

"Versatile, soft and a winter staple"





This is beautiful--the photos cannot bring out the richness of the colors. This poncho is great with leggings or jeans. Easy to wear, can dress it up or down.
