"Cozy warmth, beauty in design"
This alpaca shawl is truly a work of art, expertly made. I am a tall woman and it is perfect size for me as I like shawls that are a little longer. Actually, I bought 2 of these shawls, one in beige and one in rust. They are very warm also! Only drawback is that alpaca sheds a lot but they are so pretty and warm, I use them all the time. Thank you Marinella Asto!

"Unexpected Surprise"
This ochre shawl was meant to be a gift for a woman. However, the man that was to be trusted to give it to the woman kept it. he claimed it matched his decor and used it decoratively in many ways listed below. I am glad he liked it that much. But, I would have liked to keep it myself. I did pay for it. Needless to say, this is a really beautiful piece of art that can be very covertly coveted by others.

"Beautiful and soft shawl"
The pattern is intricate and the pattern is tight enough that it does not snag. I love the softness and the design.
