I just opened the shawl, this am, planning on taking it on your next cruise, will not take much room and it's warm, will be an asset to my cruise attire, and I'm sure I will be using before that...
Alpaca is so soft and warm, and the intricate pattern woven into this sophisticated shawl dress it up. The workmanship is excellent and the colors work well for work too evening.
I wore this as a wrap on my father's 90th birthday party. The texture is wonderful feeling to wear and it is remarkably warm in air-conditioning! I love the slight unevenness in the color and thickness of the stripes which gives them a more lively look.
