This is a rally comfy wrap, and the pockets are a nice touch.  The first one I ordered arrived with a flaw in the knitting which was going to become a hole.  I returned that one and ordered another which is flawless.  It is soft and no itchy.  The black is not black, rather a very dark grey which is as neutral as black.  It does wrinkle, but if I smooth it out and let it lay flat after using it, it looks good enough.  I always have to remember to fold it carefully.  Still, it keeps me comfortable and warm and the pockets help me to keep it secured around my shoulders.  After using this shawl for a couple of months, I realized the grey fibers in the yarn cause the shawl to shed just a bit on black clothing worn with it.
