This is a stole by Sally Scott. The edge finishing is part of the original design. It's almost square. Please enjoy experimenting with different ways to tie it! I haven't used it much, and I've taken good care of it, so I don't think there's any major damage. However, it is used and has been stored at home, so I hope you understand. There are some fold creases as it was put away after washing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The fourth image shows it held up to the light.
