When I received this towel, I found that I didn’t love it as a towel (something about the texture). But I love it as a tapestry. The colors and image are lush and gorgeous. I have it hanging in my bedroom, and it brightens my day just to look at it. It feels like I am giving myself a special, sacred message every morning. I don’t know how I would feel about using it as a towel (because I haven’t tried it), but if you are thinking about hanging it, I give it two thumbs up.
