i got this scarf on sale for about 5 bucks and for the price it is great. it is pretty soft. not as soft as other pashmina scarves i own but it is comfortable to wear around on a chilly day. i rarely want to take it off because it gets too hot. it also looks fashionable and simple enough to go with many outfits. i don't regret buying this item and use it often. it is also great as a wrap on a cold day. i recommend this item overall.
