Cable Knit Scarf – 100% Cashmere – 35x180cm – Green Gables

A dark green cashmere scarf has a traditional, country look, and Green Gables is a deep bottle green close to pine. In a thick cable knit the colour turns almost black in the hollows and shows its cooler, slightly blue side on the raised twists, which is why it sits so well with tweed, camel and cream.

It is knitted in 100% cashmere from a 28-count, 6-ply yarn. Six plies make a dense, bouncy cable that keeps its shape around the neck, and the knit gives the scarf some stretch. The size is 35 × 180 cm (15 × 72 in), with long tassels at each end: wear it wrapped twice and tucked in on a long winter walk, or loose over a tweed jacket for Sunday lunch. Made in Nepal.

Catherine, who has bought from us many times, chose this scarf in Rapture Rose and wrote that “the products never disappoint”. She found it soft and warm, with a well-finished fringe, and pure cashmere only gets softer with wear, so a classic green like this is one to keep.
