Our lightweight bamboo and bamboo chenille poncho is gorgeous and comfortable. It drapes beautifully. Suitable for wearing outdoors or indoors. Add a scarf as well! This poncho is medium-weight, perfect for all seasons. The fabric is unique, appearing to be a mix of micro-stripes and the flowing colors of space-dyed weavings. It does not have fringes. 

To see the color combinations, look at the photos of lightweight bamboo or bamboo chenille scarves. The "mixto" weave is stripy.

The process of making a poncho is labor intensive. Lightweight bamboo yarn and bamboo chenille are wound into skeins on a hand-powered machine, then hand-dyed with dyes imported from the US. The lightweight bamboo yarn is then warped onto a warping board. The bamboo chenille yarn is used for the weft. The fabric is then handwoven on a traditional backstrap loom, a process which takes a full day of work. Two pieces of fabric are woven for each poncho. The fabric is washed and then tailored by the co-op's talented tailor.

The lightweight bamboo and bamboo chenille yarns are made from sustainably-grown organic bamboo in China. They are colorfast and the pile will not rub off.

Product Care
Hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Add fabric softener to the rinse. Lay flat to dry. 

Always use fabric softener and minimize agitation and heat. 

For creases or a too-worn look, freshen up by spritzing with water and hanging to dry. Or spritz and put in the dryer on no-heat setting for a few minutes. Or hang in a steamy bathroom.

The fabric has already been washed by hand and dried as above, in Guatemala.

Or you may professionally dry clean your poncho.
