The shawl is as advertised.  However, the tag is GLUED (instead of sewn on) and I have not been able to remove all the glue.  It looks like a very conspicuous drip at the shawl end.  Annoying.

Soft, though.  Color not as deeply jewel-toned (and this is true of the other two shawls I bought from this vendor) as in the picture on my screen, which is a small disappointment.

Update:  bought two more this year, but the color is now much lighter, nothing like royal.  Was it really necessary to economize on a couple of cents of dye?
