Pass on the pattern but not on cuteness or comfort with the Lapuan Kankurit Uni Wine Pocket Scarf. Made from 100% wool in a beautiful deep burgundy, this versatile scarf is wide enough to render full coverage as a shawl, while two roomy front pockets will keep hands toasty and provide handy storage. Fringes add to the cozy feel of this piece, making it the perfect pair to jeans and boots. Whether you wear this fireside at home, in a drafty office or on-the-go, the Lapuan Kankurit Uni Wine Pocket Scarf is a stylish way to stay warm.
Care: Hand wash at 30 ° C - do not spin, wring, etc.

Love the style and the pockets

The style, the color and the pockets of this shawl make it a winner. The only reason I did not give it five stars is that the wool was not as soft as the wool of the Lapaun Kankurit blankets.

My daughter is in Zoom meetings every day for work. Although their apartment is warm, occasionally a chill draft does come through. She loved this shawl, particularly because it has pockets! The wool is soft and fluffy. Wait for it to come back at FinnStyle!

Warm, but a bit more heavy and coarse than expected.

This piece is a long rectangle with pockets (handy) on each end. I purchased it for my elderly mother. I thought it would be easy for her to slip this over her shoulders for warmth, as arthritis has made it very hard for her to maneuver her arms into a sweater. The pockets are really handy for all of those treasures that grandmas always have available -- tissues for a child's sniffle, masks for a venture to lunch. The shawl is, however, fairly heavy and she has trouble with donning something of this heft and is not always comfortable wearing it. It is also fairly scratchy, which is tough on her delicate skin. While this didn't work well for my purpose, it is beautiful like all Lapuan Kankurit textiles and a great addition to a winter wardrobe -- in this case for me if not mom.

This is the second wrap I bought of this line. The first (blue) one served me so well for the past year that I decided to get another one in a different color. They are just so easy to be used as a quick "cover up". And the dog loves it, too, as a cover when she goes to bed...

I love this shawl! The Wine color is a beautiful, deep rich red. The wool is very soft to the touch and drapes perfectly over my shoulders. It makes a wonderful addition to my wardrobe.

Lovely color

Lovely color and will be cozy, I think, to have over the winter. Wish it were a little wider, but love the pockets.
is there a button or clasp at the top -- not mentioned or shown. Is the wool thick, heavy, rough, itchy? I noticed some of this line is in lamb's wool, so didn't know how much coarser this is. I love the two tone patterns -- will there be more color combinations? Are they natural earth tones? It would be good to show the back view, because the front is fully covered, but I guess the back is less so.

There are not any buttons or clasps, it is simply a throw-over wrap. I would consider it to be thick wool, however I would not say it is heavy, rough, or itchy.
Forest Green, Orange and Wine Red are the only colors that we have available. These are a seasonal product, so we are unable to order more of these or other colors until next winter season.
When wrapped around the body, the back has 24" of coverage (for standard height, about half to 3/4 of the back is covered)
