The Evening Lights poncho is knit with a strand of Shibui Twig and a strand of Shibui Silk Cloud held together. After wet blocking the piece softens and blooms into a most luxurious fabric. The poncho is a rectangle, knit flat and seamed. The point may be worn in the front, back or covering the arm for versatility.
