DESCRIPTION

The Kanga Ruana is oversized and cozy, which makes it perfect for it’s name because kanga means a large piece of fabric which is used to wrap around the body. This simple yet elegant design uses the lemon peel stitch to create a subtle and beautiful texture that has perfect drape. Worn with or without the included cowl pattern, this ruana is extra warm but also lightweight, and is the perfect addition to any wardrobe!
