This vivid red shawl is handwoven and finished with an intricate crochet border and collar, thicker and warmer than our alpaca scarves, and shorter than our alpaca capes, these shawls are still incredibly lightweight due to Alpaca's unique insulating qualities. Because it is a hollow filament, like silk, Alpaca insulates seven times better than sheep's wool, but is also three times lighter.

Ponchos and shawls are a traditional garment for the Quechewa artisans who hand weave all of our Winterbourne Alpaca products, men and women alike wear ponchos and shawls to help ward off the chill in the higher ranges of the Andes, their open design allows them to be warm and comfortable while still able to use their hands (...just like a "Snuggie", but instead of looking ridiculous, these shawls are an elegant and beautiful addition to anyones wardrobe!)
