Soft lambswool in blue and beige checks, made for slipping over your shoulders when the day turns cool. I make this ruana cape here in Ireland from 100% pure new wool. Wear it open, wrap it across your shoulder or fasten it with the included pin. Choose with or without a hood.

The colours
Muted blue and blue-grey sit alongside warm beige, cream and taupe in a generous check. Fine darker lines add definition, while the smaller woven checks give the fabric detail up close. These easy colours work with denim, navy, cream knitwear and a simple black dress. Outdoor light can make the blue look greyer or the beige warmer; screens can also affect the colour you see.

How it feels and wears
This is soft, lightweight lambswool with a flowing drape and fringed ends. It gives you a warm, breathable layer without the structure of a fitted coat. The open front and roomy shape let you arrange it around your shoulders or leave the panels hanging loose. Take it on a weekend away, keep it close for cool evenings or wear it over a dress for a special occasion. If you are sensitive to wool, wear it over a comfortable layer.

Size and style
One generous size. Approximate measurements, including the fringe:
Front length: 35.5 inches / 90 cm
Back length: 35.5 inches / 90 cm
Width: 54 inches / 137 cm

Please compare these measurements with a wrap you already enjoy wearing. The length and coverage on you will depend on your height and how you drape it.

Choose Without hood for the style shown in the main photograph, or Hooded for a version with a hood. Both include a complimentary wrap pin.

Made in Ireland
I source the woven lambswool fabric from local Irish woollen mills and make and finish the capes here in Ireland. The fabric is 100% pure new lambswool. Our wool is ethically sourced, cruelty-free and mulesing-free, from sheep raised in free-roaming farming systems. Pure new wool means new wool fibres rather than reclaimed wool, with no synthetic fibre blend. Wool provides natural insulation while remaining breathable, absorbs and releases moisture vapour, and has natural resilience that helps it recover from everyday creasing. Free-roaming sheep farming and wool weaving are part of Ireland’s rural heritage, and working with natural wool keeps that connection present in what we make.

The photographs were taken in the Gap of Dunloe, near Killarney in County Kerry. The mountains and lakes are part of the place we call home, and the outdoor photographs let you see the wrap in natural light. There is also a short making video in the listing.

From our family to you
We’re Kate and the family behind this small Irish craft business. We make it and we sell it, so your order supports the people working on your piece and our continued sourcing from local Irish mills. Whether it is a gift or something you choose for yourself, thank you for giving our work a place in your wardrobe.

Care
Follow the sewn-in care label. Dry cleaning is recommended. Alternatively, gently hand wash in cold water with wool detergent and dry flat. Avoid rubbing, wringing or tumble drying.

Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) Providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction.

How can I adjust my screen to see colors as close to real life on your listings?

1. Turn Off HDR: HDR settings can overly enhance colors. Turn it off for a truer representation.

2. Use a Blue Light Filter: Reducing blue light helps display more accurate colors.

3. Adjust Contrast/Brightness: Moderate settings prevent color distortion.

4. Avoid Strong Lighting: Harsh light around the screen can impact color perception.

5. Regular Screen Calibration: Keep colors accurate by calibrating your screen periodically.

6. Screen Variations: Screens differ; expect slight variations despite adjustments.

7. Cross-Screen Comparison: Compare colors across devices for accuracy checks.

Following these steps can bring our products' colors closer to reality on your screen. Though variations may persist due to screen differences.

Fast shipping, secure packaging, accurate description


Absolutely stunning! I came to this store looking at wool cardigans and discovered the "ruana". Had never seen or heard of a ruana before but so happy I found this versatile piece of clothing. It's generously sized and looks very chic wrapped around over the shoulder and secured with the provided kilt pin. The fringe adds another layer of classic elegance. Beautifully soft wool that doesn't irritate the skin and is surprisingly warm for the thickness. Drapes beautifully and the colour combination of blue, beige and tan shades are really lovely. So wrapped with my new wrap! lol Thanks Kate :)


This was purchased for my Mum. She loves it!


Je suis emballé et j’ai un sentiment et une chaleur Irlandaise qui m’habite❤️


Absolutely stunning! Soft and warm.
