Cultural Elements

I bought the Fair Trade Merino Jaree Scarf for my daughter for Christmas. The description says: "Yarns of 100% merino wool make this scarf one the coziest in your closet!" But the threads (what they are calling "yarns") are so thin and so far apart it makes the weave look half finished and threadbare. We were very disappointed.

This not a review but involves a question. The statue arrived promptly and I am pleased with it. It was uniformly ivory in color but almost immediately started to turn darker in the areas that were chipped or broken in the statue original. I didn't find this objectionable - it added the the old look. However the statue has also darkened in a spot under the nostril that can't masquerade as aging. This leads me to wonder how to alter it or possibly others. If I scrape it will it turn darker still? Is there some way to return it to something like the original? Thanks for your reply, regards, John.

Unhappy about not being refunded the postage on 2 necklaces that I had to return at my own cost. Basically I paid the shipping costs twice for each necklace-coming & going

Not what I expected

Excellent ordering process, but item arrived damaged.
