Scarf_tradingincLarge Soft 100% Twill Pashmina Scarf Shawl Wrap

This came in handy while in Israel when I needed to cover my shoulders. Light enough weight it was miserable in the heat. Very beautiful! Dress up ir dress down.

I came across this beautiful shawl by chance and I ordered it only because they happened to have it in my favorite color, which is Robin Egg Blue, aka Tiffany Blue. Color is just as it should be. I am rating it 5 stars because I exceptionally like this shawl, even it came all creased in a foil bag, that form I find unacceptable, as I had to iron it upon arrival, its definitely not suitable for gifting. But the shawl is so lovely, in color, fabric, style, everything about it I love. It can be worn all year round, its about 115 degrees right now in where I live and I wear it over a dress to keep me warm, when I enter air conditioned places, but I do not feel hot in it in the heat outside. It also keeps me very warm in cold, at this moment I am sitting in an over 60 degrees room in a tank top and this shawl on and I am completely warm, its so versatile.It has an ugly tag attached on it with a brand name out of the package, but its easily removable, just pull it carefully. My shawl had one loose thread, that was pulled, but I only paid $9 for it, I did not expect miracles. Its very nice to the touch and on my skin feels great, and I do have very delicate skin that easily gets irritated, but no issues with this shawl. I will definitely order it again, I would buy more colors, but I do not see any I would like right now, To manufacturer: I would buy peach/light coral, mint, aqua, light navy.This shawl looks very classy on, and I mean really, really classy and sophisticated. It covers so nicely but also looks sexy, it has just everything. I am so happy I found it. I would like to add, that the fabric is very light weight, yet thin and not see-through. It folds to a small size, it can be carried in a purse, does not take space. I think I will be wearing this every day. It can easily replace a scarf, I will probably buy more colors for the winter to match with clothes instead of scarfs, this is so much classier and makes you look much, much more expensive. Also can be worn in so many ways. I will be ordering another one right after I finish this review, I am highly impressed with this pretty shawl. If it came ironed, with no pulled threads and in a gift box, I would be buying this as presents for all the women I know.

I purchased 2 pashminas from 2 different suppliers. One was this bubble 2-layer gauze-like pashima that I returned today from Sakas. I hated it.But this one, which was just $8.50 is awesome!One review says she knows what real pashmina cashmere feels like - well I question her judgement. While it may not be "thick" it is not sheer, and it is oh so warm. When you put it on, it's almost like wrapping yourself in an electric blanket. Within a minute or two, you feel your own body heat warming you. This is the true test of a real cashmere, or wool, etc. - it holds your body temperature in.And soft! OMG, how wonderful it feels to the touch. NO way it is acrylic or rayon.And for the price - what a great value. If I had not seen these online, and saw this in a store for say, $25, I would still think it was a steal.I bought a black one, and I wish I had bought more, in a few other colors.I saw where one bride-to-be bought them to give away as gifts in case it got cold. What a great idea. No one would suspect you paid less than $10 for this lovely product. Seriously! I absolutely love mine! Not sure where all these bad reviews come from. I can't image anyone would be dissappointed after spending so little, on something so soft, and warm.I wish I could find a queen-size blanket made out of this stuff! I would never get out of bed.

I've tried a whole bunch of scarves (black or lavender colored), Bamboo vs Pashmina (don't know material, no such thing as "100% pashmina", pashmina is 100% cashmere handcombed from goat so NEVER less than $50+, but at this price I'm NOT expecting real). Hands down, bamboo is softer & finer weave (the finer the weave the less the pulling) and Doesn't Pill over time (unlike acrylic, terrible). All pashminas were still soft but not as soft as bamboo & coarser weave. I've only given the pashmina as gift so don't know how it "wears" over time. Here's the final results, from best down in my opinion:Naturally Knotty Bamboo Scarf 70" x 28"Heaviest weight 240g (30% more than others)/finest weave, Black (few color choices).
