The Acoma Collection of three shawls and three cowls is inspired by the beautiful Acoma pottery. Each design is named for one of the spelling variations of ‘Acoma’. Techniques include intarsia, slipped stitches and stranded colorwork.

A portion of the proceeds from this collection will be donated to the Pueblo Scholarship fund.
