oh dear...I have become an echarpe tweedee "enabler"!Gigi,
That shawl looked soft just by looking at your picture, so I am certain it's super soft by touch! Does the escarpe tweedee (and we were all wondering what it was last week!) come in other colours? I am due to view some vintage pashminas (including the banned shatoosh!!!) with a private collector and this now makes me want to visit the store tomorrow!!
off topic: pardon my ignorance, what is a banned shatoosh?
