A lightweight, hooded capelet you can wear alone in cool weather, or underneath a coat in winter. The combination of Amano Uma, a luscious laceweight combination of suri alpaca, mohair and silk, and Micaela, a fingering weight merino wool and silk blend hand-dyed by a local Hispanic artisan, works up into a fluid and drapey fabric as bright and soft and fluttery as “Butterfly Rain.”

• 3 balls of Amano Uma in colorway Folklore
