I couldn't wait to receive this Schachenmayr multicolored merino extra fine yarn, because it's an eco friendly yarn. The colors are eye catching and vibrant. This shawl is ideal for summer evening parties in garden, at the pool or by the ocean. There are so many ways to wrap this shawl around you. It even looks nice in the Indian way of wearing scarfs. The ,shawl is 90 inches long and 9 inches wide.
