This shawl kept me warm all winter long. When traveling it is especially helpful on planes. I receive many compliments and asked where I got it. I pass on Novica.
This shawl's background material is fairly finely woven with a paisley pattern. The embroidery, in contrast, is made with fairly heavy thread. The colors are beautiful. The heavy embroidery makes this particularly good for wearing with a winter coat or on a very chilly day
