    The Story Behind the Art

    Peruvian artisan Nestor Yana hails from the Puno region, situated in the Peruvian highlands, which are renowned for good quality alpaca and sheep wool. He has been dedicated to the textile arts for more than 25 years - it has been a family trade for generations. Yana and his siblings learned the different weaving and knitting techniques from their parents. When he first began to weave, he worked on rustic machinery, built by himself along with other family members. Together they sold their wares at local markets until eventually they were able to acquire modern machinery, which in turn allowed them to develop newer designs.

Is what it is

truvvy from Atlanta, GA, Sep 11, 2009

The cape isn't as gorgeous as it appears in the pic. However, it has a smooth, soft comfort and its ok for casual wear. I was hoping the scarf was also a hood but it isn't.
