When I opened the package I thought how lovely.  I did notice that the fabric was not a tight weave, but, ok for the money I paid.  Wore it once to a wedding it kept snagging and threads pulled.  By the end of the night this paskmina shawl was a mess.  Put it in a goodwill bag and they might be able to use it for a rag.  So dissatisfied and disappointed because it was truly lovely.
