I bought this about four years ago, and I loved it because of the cute pom-poms, and I wore it often. It also has a chin strap, so I didn't have to worry about it flying off. I'm selling it because it's too small now. I don't think there are any noticeable stains, but there is some slight fading. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. I think the pom-poms will be slightly flattened for shipping. Please reshape the yarn with your fingers upon arrival. It has been stored in my apartment (no pets). I generally cannot ship on weekends and holidays.
