Just received this and I am completely in love with this scarf! It is absolutely gorgeous and soft as can be! My neighbor was there when I opened the package and we both couldn't get over how nice this scarf is, especially for the price. It's supposed to be "cashmere-like" but it's made of silk, fine viscose and acrylic which feels and looks just like fine cashmere to me. It's lightweight, non-itchy and feels comfortable around your neck. The scarf is the perfect width and length. It can be worn a number of ways and it looks great with everything. Plus, the fact that it is so lightweight and I chose a light color (light beige) gives it more versatility as I can wear it longer than just during the coldest winter months. I have not washed it yet but I have a set of pajamas made of this soft type of material that washed well tossed in with my regular clothes so this should be simple to clean and wear also. I could not be happier with this scarf! The shipping was fast and the overal transaction on Amazon was easy peasey as always. I am definitely going to buy another, maybe a couple more, as is my neighbor, before they run out and before the winter season is over. Thanks for a good product and good service!
