"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.

"Beautiful shawl!"
This is my favorite shawl/scarf I own! It is lightweight cotton that can be used in warmer weather as well as cooler weather. The colors are beautiful as is the weaving and details such as the knotted fringe.

"Beyond Beautiful"
I used this on my very long black dresser. It looks amazing! I bought another one which is similar for a tabletop runner. A beautifully handcrafted piece that I will cherish forever. My room looks so much better with this piece. It gives the room a serene romantic feel.
Best Uses
- Dresser top, Tabletop, sideboard also works well
