This piece is a combination of hand-dyed hand-woven merino and vintage wool suiting felt. It was made from start to finish by me in my home/studio in Truth or Consequences, NM. The handwoven panel that adorns the center of this poncho was woven with both a warp and weft of naturally dyed merino wool.
