These gorgeous scarves are hand woven by women trained in spinning and weaving courses. Variegated 100% acrylic yarns in beautiful colors and textures are combined to create these elegant accessories. Each scarf comes with a pamphlet that tells the remarkable story of Casa Ursulina. Scarves measure approx. 9" wide x 68" long.
