This lovely shawl was handcrafted to compliment any Autumnal ensemble. It's warm, yet muted colors embody the cozy side of the season, and the design is quite attractive, especially when the light hits it. This has been pre stretched and pre washed. Note: If you have sensitive skin or are allergic to Laundry Detergents or fabric softeners you will need to launder this item before you wear it.
