What’s In Santa’s Sleigh?: NOVICA.com Alpaca Wool Poncho Review

But wool you say? Wool is scratchy and itchy and not very comfortable. Yes, I know this. I am highly allergic to wool. Even the mention of the word wool makes me start scratching. A good friend of mine told me that Alpaca wool is different. It is soft and warm and not itchy/scratchy like sheep’s wool. I was skeptical. So when I received the opportunity to review an item from NOVICA.com and saw the beautiful Alpaca wool ponchos, I knew I had to try one out.

Guess what? I made a really good choice. The poncho is handcrafted, well made and incredibly soft. Color me amazed. I love this poncho. I now love Alpaca wool as well. The package came quite quickly considering it was being shipped from Peru and it was beautifully wrapped. The poncho is handmade and the craftsmanship is incredible. The pictures do not do this item justice. You cannot see the intricate detail in the knitting, nor can you see that the Alpaca yarn is variegated, which gives the poncho a nice depth and a bit of pizazz.

Isn’t the wrapping gorgeous? I love the little Peruvian woman in traditional dress on the bow. All items will come wrapped in a manner designated by the country they have come from. Isn’t that neat?
