"Warm and Wonderful"
This bright red scarf was a delightful purchase for a gift to a friend. I liked it for its soft texture and holiday appeal. Turns out my friend is allergic, so I kept it for myself!

This is the first |Ruana| I have ever had. It is a lovely light wrap, and on cooler nights can be worn over a sweater for added warmth. Recommended!
