Pashmina Ring Shawl – 90x200cm – 100% Cashmere – Winter White

A cream pashmina shawl is the classic choice for an evening out, and Winter White is a warm cream, softer than a bright white and easy on most complexions. In this very fine cashmere the colour looks clean and milky, and the cloth is light enough to lie over a dark evening dress without hiding its shape.

It is woven in a simple box weave from single-ply, 60-count pure cashmere: about 60 metres of the yarn weigh one gram, which is why the full 90 × 200 cm shawl packs down so small. The cloth is fine enough to pass through a ring and is left unbrushed, so it keeps its strength. Hand-twisted tassels finish both ends. Open, it covers the whole back; folded, it makes a generous scarf for the journey home.

This is a shawl to keep. Julie wrote: “I purchased one in winter white many years ago and still use it now.” Barry gives our pashminas as presents, because “as a gift they are always welcome”, and Angela, who buys for herself and her family, sums it up as “pure luxury”. If you are matching a cream outfit, the swatchbook lets you check the shade first.
