A beautiful shawl, in a good, wearable size. Soft and lightweight and warm. You should know, though, that "gossamer wine" and "maroon" are the same color! I would love to see some new colors, and not just new names for the same colors.
I got this scarf as a Christmas present for my son. It is beautiful, soft, and masculine. The length will allow him to wear it more than one way. I think he will get a lot of warmth from this scarf.
