"A beautiful poncho!"
When I opened this up and saw this gorgeous poncho/sweater... I couldn't believe my eyes! It is much prettier than the picture! The colors or so soft yet vibrant at the same time. 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!

The sweater is very well made. It's light enough to wear in the fall but warm.

"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.

"So pretty and comfy!"
Beautiful comfortable top with such pretty colors. I usually wear just a solid-colored long-sleeved shirt underneath, works for going out and for just lounging around the house. Just FYI the material is fairly stretchy so if you re between sizes (I m usually between M and L myself) I d say size down!

"This is perfect for Californias version of cold weather!"
I bought this beautiful cape (ruana) several months ago, and Ive worn it non-stop! its flattering, very warm, and so easy to wear without having to deal with sleeves. I love it, Ill wear it until its worn out, and Ill buy another one. My favorite article of outdoor clothing for cool weather. It works when Im dressed casually, and when I dress up. Perfect!
