This scarf is beautiful, very soft and warm, but lightweight.  Great for chilly restaurants or cool weather.  The color is red, but a yellow based red, rather than blue.  One shade more and it would be more orange than red.  Still a great color, but if you have plans to wear this with a specific garment, you should be aware.  The service was speedy, and it was wrapped in a plastic sleeve, so it was pristine and tidy.  Would make a great gift!
