Accent any casual ensemble with this scarf from the Yama Aj Chixot Artisan Group of Central America. The artisans use a floor loom to combine cotton in subtle shades of silver grey, dark blue, yellow, beige, and purple, then finish the scarf with hand-knotted fringe. The head artisan is passionate about preserving traditional weaving techniques and has dedicated himself to educating women in this historically male-driven practice. This fashionable scarf is just right for days when the weather is not too warm and not too cold.

Very Pretty”

Beautiful colors. Didnt give it five stars because as a scarf, it is not heavy. Would not be very warm in winter.

Nice, but not quite what I expected.”

It must be the word shawl, because I thought this would have more weight to it. It looks more like a table runner, which is how I will probably use it. It is quite pretty.
