Herringbone Weave Pashmina – 100% Cashmere – 60x190cm – Open Fringe – Melange Dark Grey

This charcoal grey pashmina is the herringbone at its most understated. Melange Dark Grey is a smoky, heathered charcoal, and in this weave the lighter and darker flecks follow the zigzag, giving the cloth a tailored look that suits a man’s overcoat as well as a woman’s winter wardrobe.

We weave it from pure cashmere, 3-ply and 28-count, in a tight herringbone. That gives a thicker, denser cloth than our standard pashminas, worth choosing if lighter weights feel too thin for you. The ends are an open fringe rather than tassels. At 60 × 190 cm it doubles through the loop for a neat, warm collar under a coat, and opens out wide enough to wrap the shoulders. Handmade in Nepal.

The buyer of this grey called it a “really lovely scarf”. Hazel, who chose the North Sea colour, found it “soft, thicker but easy to fold into a scarf length”, and Syrup liked the “open fringe finishing”. Some buyers have noticed a smell when theirs was new, one slight and one strong; Amanda expected hers to fade with use.
