    Not a tapestry, Billy. Appears to be a woven wool shawl.

    I think it’s to thick and heavy to be a shawl

    Billyd, just curious but, have you weighed the shawl? Can you "guess-timate" the weight? Do you have a "person" weight scale? If yes, hop on the scale yourself and see what you weigh, then weigh yourself again with the shawl in your arms or wrapped around yourself. ;)

    Inquiring minds want to know what that large/long scarf/shawl weighs. ;)

    I'd think it's a shawl, too. I'm wondering if the pulled in end is because it's made from different types of yarn and was washed in hot water causing the pulled in part to shrink?
