This is my fourth or maybe even fifth alpaca shawl from Raquel and Gregor -- they are all soft and beautiful and get lots of use. You do need to take care of them, as they will snag. But the alpaca fibers are strong and just need to be tucked back in now and then.
Excellent & beautiful intricate detail in the hand embroidery. Brings wearing a mask to a new level. Great for every day or for dressy occasion. Sizing is a bit smaller but still a great fit. Depending how it fits, an 8 or more hour shift might be too long to wear this mask.
The cold winter months are warmly enriched with this artisanal scarf. The recipient was very pleased with the gift, and appreciated the fine workmanship.
