Named for the animal from which this beautiful fiber came, Onyx is an elegant lace shawl knit in pure alpaca in it’s natural, un-dyed form. Layers of lacy softness wrap and drape effortlessly around the upper torso, beautiful scalloped edging cascading at the shoulder. The garment is kept in place using a raglan design and three buttons. Lightweight warmth that is perfect for an evening out, wedding, or other special event.
