This capelet is hand knitted and crocheted with two luscious yarns -- an alpaca & wool soft handspun in ruby (actually a bit deeper than in the photos) and a 100% soft Merino in black.
The body of the capelet is knitted in the alpaca blend. You can see from the stitches that the yarn is a singles (not plied) and results in a variation of the stitch size that's quite appealing. The look is handspun, but refined.
The neck ruffle and the lace edging are crocheted with Merino wool to form a very graceful, very Victorian cape.
The handmade button closure is vintage 1930s - 1940s and is very rare indeed, as well as being beautiful.
This capelet is sized to fit from extra-small to medium.
The width around the neck is 19 inches (48 cm), the hemline is 44 inches around (112 cm), and the length is 13 1/2 inches (34 cm).
