Herringbone Weave Pashmina – 100% Cashmere – 60x190cm – Open Fringe – Bright Rose

A bright pink pashmina in herringbone looks different from the same colour on a plain cloth. Bright Rose is a vivid raspberry pink with a cool, blue-pink cast, and the zigzag of the weave breaks it into fine lines of light and shade, so it stays bold but has a woven texture you can see.

It is woven from 100% cashmere in a 3-ply, 28-count yarn: three threads are wound together before weaving, and the tight herringbone packs them closely, so the cloth is denser than our classic pashminas. The ends are left as an open fringe. At 60 × 190 cm it is long enough to double and pull through the loop for a smart, high collar, or to open out round the shoulders, where it keeps you warm from neck to waist. Handmade in Nepal.

Michele found this colour a “wonderful match to my shoes” and praised its “lovely texture” and warmth. Another buyer of Bright Rose noticed a strong smell when it arrived and sent it back, and Amanda, who chose the light grey, mentioned “just a slight aroma of goat” that she expected to fade with use. Worth knowing if that would bother you.
