One way to enhance the presentation of a shawl is to include a scented sachet, Ie: oil dropped on a cotton ball, wrapped in netting, tied with yarn.
Although the fragrance of lavender is a nice, relaxing scent, we have, for your information, two lists of other fragrances.
The inclusion of a scented sachet is not recommended if the receiver of the shawl is sensitive to fragrances, is pregnant, undergoing chemotherapy, has emphysema or chronic respiratory issues.
