Bought this as a gift. It is pretty but very thin, and the reason for the three stars is it had 2 round spots on it that looked like finger prints from someone with a chemical on their fingers. I was going to send it back for this reason alone, but it was also considered too sheer (see through almost, like thick gauze) to the person I was giving it to. So I ordered another brand which we both like much better, at the same price.Love the size, wanted a large multi use shawl in the livingroom for meditation, wrapping up when watching TV, cocooning in when I have a migraine and light enough tof pack in a suitcase. This met all the criteria. It is the size of a standard twin size mattress and it very light in weight. Just a bit scratchy for my preference. But my son loves it just fine.This shawl is used for chilly days. It great when you need an easily removable covering that can serve many functions. Its appearance met and exceeded my expectations. Very happy with my purchase.This is a wonderfully cozy, oversized shawl that you can wear in all seasons. Well worth the price. As Indian-style shawls go, the fabric is a bit thin, so be careful if you use a shawl pin to keep it closed; avoid pulling or the pinhole will expand (I found out the hard way!) Otherwise, there's no reason you shouldn't get years of satisfying use out of this shawl. I recommend machine wash warm or cold on the delicate cycle. Enjoy!The stuff is really not good. Too itchy trash i bought n wasted my money n when it was time to return they gave me location so far away. Just a waste of moneyDecent shawl. No complaints. A bit scratchy but it's inexpensive wool...if you want cashmere buy cashmere. Good size, not too thick not too thin.Very nice quality wool shawl but I bought "gray" and it was actually beige/brown.I'm 5'11" and this shawl covers me nicely wile sitting cross legged. Soft, warm, light & comfortable.Bought this last year and am still wearing it. Seller is fantastic - it arrived very quickly. The colour is lovely. Be careful when washing - I had the same shawl in brown and washed it - stupid me, it turned into felt. But the cat loves sleeping on it, so it's not gone to waste!Nice wool shawl. Comfortable when you wrap yourself in it and light so you don't get too hot. I have been using it for weeks now, twice daily, and it seems sturdy.The shawl is very thin. It looks more like for the ladies than men.Goodsupplies defective product
