Very Pretty”

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

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.
