Bringing Together Bold Solids with Lively Variegated Yarns!
There’s a special kind of beauty that happens when opposites meet. The Crossroads Poncho was designed around that very idea—bringing together bold solids with lively variegated yarns, and smooth textures with soft, nubby boucle. The result is a handmade garment that feels both classic and modern, simple yet full of character.
This poncho is woven with Aurora Earth 8/2 Cotton paired with Caterpillar Cotton Bouclé. The Aurora Earth cotton brings smooth, even structure, while the bouclé yarn adds a touch of texture and playful shifts of color. Together, they create a fabric that’s visually striking and irresistibly touchable.
The design features a bold solid stripe intersecting with a thick variegated block, giving the poncho its name. Much like crossing paths on a journey, these two elements meet in harmony, balanced yet contrasting. The effect is stylish, cozy, and endlessly wearable.
The Crossroads Poncho is woven at 23" weaving width and constructed from two woven panels. The size is determined by the length of each panel. By decreasing the weaving width, you can even make a child size poncho!
We’ve put together 8 gorgeous color options for the Crossroads Poncho, and I can’t wait to see which one you’ll pick to weave your own!
- Ocean and Royal Blue
- Sandstone and Polo Tan
- Inferno and Lipstick
- Paua and Plum Green
- Citrus and Gold
- Berries and Wine
- Monochrome and Charcoal
- Cookies and Chocolate

Soft, stylish, and versatile, it’s a reminder of the beauty in transitions, whether in seasons, styles, or the weaving process itself.
