"One of my favorites, always get compliment"
High quality workmanship, unique design and medium weight - not too thin and not too thick. Striking color scheme, even more attractive in person. Will never find this design in a department store. One of a kind.
Best Uses
- Weekend wear in winter

"Beautiful and comfortable."
Beautiful design and colors. Very comfortable. Must be careful not to snag the reverse of the design and pull the threads. Use a crochet needle to pull threads back through.

"Beautiful, functional, softer than cashmere "
Visited Peru in 2013 and began my Alpaca sweater collection with this beauty. I simply love this sweater! One can dress it up or down and the design fits every occasion, or non-occasion. The pattern is eye catching and I love the curving at the bottom; something unique from all the rest. I've always gotten compliments on this sweater and love the variety of designs the artist incorporates in all his work!
