This shawl is super easy to use. You can drape it over your shoulders for a stylish look on a sunny spring day or wear it around your neck like a scarf for a bit more warmth. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand - wash it in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing it out to prevent stretching the delicate lace. Lay it flat to dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to keep the color and lacework looking great.
