Thanks EMK for this. I'm delighted that the softness is appreciated by the younger generation. This throw is particularly soft, it's a treat.
And I love the idea of kids 'cosying' up under it to 'chill' !

Thank you, Karen, for these kind words. The inspiration for this throw came from some old Shaker quilts.
You are right; the warmth to weight ratio of the 100% extrafine merino yarn is fantastic!

Thank you so much for writing this review in your native language, Lotte 1962. It is very helpful for German speakers. For those of you who don't speak German, here is the translation:
This large scarf is simply a dream, wonderfully soft, warm, very generous and with magnificent pattern. I am a very tall woman, can wear the cover as a scarf or as a stole over the shoulders, even as a light blanket on the sofa. The workmanship is fantastic and I am showered with compliments.

This is a very interesting review, Ryoko. I am fascinated by the coincidental similarity with Danjuro Ichikawa's Mimasumon, the three square crest of the Danjuro line of actors in the 18C! Thank you for writing in Japanese, it is helpful for Japanese visitors.
Here is the English translation from google:
If you put it on a kimono, it's insanely dated and cool
It's similar to Danjuro Ichikawa's famous costume, Mimasumon, a little more complicated than Danjuro, and very elegant. It is also very good to put it on a kimono (Japanese clothes). It is also very convenient to hang it on furniture for blindfolding when customers come. I usually hang it from my shoulder instead of a blanket when it's chilly at home, but it's okay to go outside as it doesn't look like a room wear. If you have one, you can use it in various ways, which is helpful!
