Wonderful MetG remix! The colors are perfect for your style. Did you also try on Leila? I am trying to decide between those two designs for my one GM.
I once pulled a thread on a GM with a three-ring binder I was holding in front of me. Also the staying away from Velcro is a good idea and I rarely wear earrings with my shawls/scarves.

Dear Maedi, Sending many thanks! I did try the Leila GM in the natural/grey CW. While I like the pattern a great deal, that particular colorway felt too somber for me. If I had tried it as we were heading into fall, I might have felt otherwise. But I do tend to favor larger graphics, in the GM size. I am considering a 90 Leila, however. Best wishes in choosing! So sorry to hear of your bider mishap, and thank you for the care tips! :smile1:

Congratulations etiole! this is a VERY pretty shawl! So springy & feminine. Good choice!

Thank you, D Lee! :smile1:

Oh etoile, MOrs Remix in this cw just so perfect for your first CSGM, congrats! My recommendation is that you wear it in good health and that you not worry about the little things. It will pill to a greater or lesser degree depending on how much friction you subject it to; or you may get a drop of coffee or tea on it, but I'm in the 'it's meant to be enjoyed' camp. You will want to be mindful of spikey jewelry, and velcro and zippers as Katika mentioned, but this is all common sense of which you have an abundance I'm sure :flowers:. Enjoy!

Dear textilegirl :heart: Sending many thanks! Such good advice about enjoying these cashmere beauties.
But I will add spikey to the list of forbidden, along with grippy, zippy, pokey, and dangly! I'll need a check-list on my closet door! :laugh:

dear etoile,
you and your shawl are a beautiful duet. and that brit chic is super clever in many, many ways; you also received great advise from those "in the know". my minor contribution will be to tell you about my mishaps with "baseball" caps which I wear with regularity (too many bad hair days). It took me several painful mishaps resulting in ugly pulls to realize that the velcro at the back of the cap (this adjusts the size of the hat to fit your head) hit my shawl where it lay on my neck! now I know. wear you beauty with your beauty!

Many thanks, bjostone, so sweet of you! And I never would have thought of this issue with baseball caps, so sorry for your mishaps, and thanks so much for sharing! ;)

Never thought of baseball hats causing a pull in a GM ~ that would be horrifying!
I am super careful with my GMs and don't even wear necklaces with them.

Yay, Vigee, another member of the "preserve and protect" club! :heart: I usually don't buy things unless I'm truly in love with them, and then I want them to last forever!

Also watch out for hoop earrings that are an open circle in the back rather than a closed loop. They will catch in your shawl and hurt it or pull on your ear/earring.

Another good thought, mcs1111! I've always been a bit wary of large hoop earrings, and especially the open back type! :wondering I have a few pairs I love, but while wearing them, I'm always concerned I'll catch them on something!
 
Dropping in for a moment to post photos of my Mors Remix.
I finally had a chance to play with it! :love:

I also posted these in the SS14 thread, but wanted to share with cashmere fans, too! ;)

This being my first CSGM, I'm a bit afraid of hurting it! :wondering
Please share your tips, on preventing mishaps with them!
