Handwoven Alpaca Ponchos, Cocoons, and Shawls by Frances Levi
Alpaca
Each item is a uniquely handwoven creation. As my collection is always changing please contact me for photos of available items.
Alpaca/Tencel Ponchos
A summer, or indoor weight alpaca Infinity Poncho on a Tencel warp, these are fully reversible like the rayon and Tencel Infinity Ponchos, while adding the warmth and luxury of alpaca.
Natural Alpaca Mexican Ponchos
The traditional Mexican Poncho is a unisex coat for warmer winter days and the colder seasons. Informal or majestic, this is a show stopper, and warm, too.
Natural Alpaca Full-Twist Ponchos
Like the Infinity Ponchos woven in other materials, these can be worn an infinite number of ways. The inside and the outside differ mostly in how obscured the warp stripes are. A one-size-fits-most garment, they are a comfortable extra layer over a sweater.
Natural Alpaca Half-Twist Ponchos
These are longer than the full-twist ponchos so that it is easier to wear them as a cowl or hoody, in addition to the shawl/poncho looks. Because of the coverage across your back as well as the cowl or hoody around your neck and/or head, these easily add 10 degrees of warmth to a hoodless winter coat.
Natural Alpaca Cocoons
Essentially a shawl with sleeves, a Cocoon is a transformative garment. Dressy enough to wear with evening wear, comfy enough to snuggle on the couch. In natural alpaca, this is the ultimate luxury garment!
Natural Alpaca Shawls
Shawls can add elegance and warmth to any outfit. They double as lap blankets, too.
