Was pleasantly surprised when this scarf was received.  The picture does not do the color or pattern justice.  It's large enough that you can use this as a light shawl in warm weather, but light enough to fold it into a nice scarf.  The texture looks and feels great.  It is very soft to the touch.  Overall it is a beautiful accessory, looking and feeling much more expensive than it's actual cost.  I will probably purchase at least one or two more in different colors.
