Angelweave Pashmina – 90% Cashmere / 10% Silk – 55x200cm – Black

A black pashmina in Angelweave has more life than a plain black stole: the hand-spun cashmere gives the cloth a slightly uneven surface, and the silk warp adds a gentle sheen, so this solid black shows texture in its folds rather than reading as one flat block of colour.

It is 90% cashmere and 10% silk. The warp threads are fine silk, stretched on the loom, and the weft is pure cashmere spun by hand. The result is our lightest weave, and the silk lets it fall close to the body. At 55 × 200 cm it works as a slim wrap over a black dress for an evening or a concert, or doubled and pulled through its loop as a scarf under a winter coat. Handmade in Nepal.

Buyers of Angelweave in other colours mostly talk about the feel. One describes “a lovely soft pashmina with an uneven, open weave”, and Fiona found hers “exceptionally soft”. Many come back for more: Claire, who owns it in Aqua Sky, says “I now have 4 of these”.
