To use this wrap, simply drape it around your shoulders. You can adjust the tab closure to your preferred tightness. Wear it over your regular clothes when going out in cooler weather. As for maintenance, it's best to hand - wash it in cold water. Don't use harsh detergents as they may damage the fabric. After washing, lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Avoid hanging it for long periods as it might stretch. If it gets wrinkled, you can gently iron it on a low - heat setting.
