This scarf is big, soft and warm! The color is spot on and there is no problem with the quality of the fabric. I scrunches up nicely so it doesn't feel too bulky around my neck but still keeps me warm. I am very pleased with my new Pashmina!

I was actually hoping that this pashmina scarf did not include wool... my skin is allergic to real wool and for years when I would visit big cities I would visit those street carts to buy cheap 'pashminas' that were made of nice synthetic stuff that I could wear on my neck. When my favorite gray one finally wore out I bought this, because the color matched so well, but apparently it does include wool... because it was pretty itchy (to me... normal people I have polled do not feel the itch).SO, for most people this is probably a plus, but just so you're aware, this pretty scarf seems to be wool. I even rated it 5 stars anyway, because the color is so shimmery pretty gray that I will wear it over formal dresses (away from my neck) and love it.
The word "pashmina" is not a labeling term recognized by law in the United States. According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission:
"Some manufacturers use the term pashmina to describe an ultra fine cashmere fiber; others use the term to describe a blend of cashmere and silk. The FTC encourages manufacturers and sellers of products described as pashmina to explain to consumers, on a hangtag, for example, what they mean by the term. As with all other wool products, the fiber content of a shawl, scarf or other item marketed as pashmina must be accurately disclosed. For example, a blend of cashmere and silk might be labeled 50% Cashmere, 50% Silk or 70% Cashmere, 30% Silk, depending upon the actual cashmere and silk content. If the item contains only cashmere, it should be labeled 100% Cashmere or All Cashmere. The label cannot say 100% Pashmina, as pashmina is not a fiber recognized by the Wool Act or regulations."
I wanted to buy one or two or ten, but without knowing the content, I do not want to buy. I'm surprised they are allowed to say 100% Pashmina on Amazon, when the FTC says items for sale in the US cannot be labeled this way. - Scarves - Pashmina - Wraps - Scarf'
