Cable Knit Scarf – 100% Cashmere – 35x180cm – White

Our white cashmere scarf is a soft ivory rather than a bright white, with a creamy warmth that is kind next to the face. A pale colour can look plain in a fine knit, but here the deep cable pattern adds texture and shadow, so the scarf looks rich and wintry against a navy, black or camel coat.

The yarn is 100% cashmere, 28-count and 6-ply, worked into full cables that make a thick scarf with plenty of give. Long tassels hang from each end. It measures 35 × 180 cm (15 × 72 in): enough to wind round the neck twice on a bitter day and still leave ends to tuck in, or to wear loose over a jumper indoors. Pure cashmere, without silk, has a matt and gentle look that suits this creamy shade. Made in Nepal.

Catherine, who chose this scarf in Rapture Rose, found it “incredibly soft and warm” and was pleased with the quality of the fringe. Ivory sits with almost any coat colour, so a thick white scarf like this is an easy present to choose for someone else.
