Angelweave Pashmina – 90% Cashmere / 10% Silk – 55x200cm – Raspberry Wine

A raspberry pashmina in Angelweave looks quite different from the same colour on a smooth cloth. The cashmere in the weft is spun by hand, so the yarn is slightly uneven, and that gives this strong, cool crimson a gentle variation across the cloth, with a soft sheen from the silk where it catches the light.

Angelweave is woven with a fine silk warp and a weft of hand-spun cashmere, 90% cashmere and 10% silk in all. Some of our most skilled people in Kathmandu spin the cashmere by hand, and that is what gives the cloth its slightly irregular look. At 55 × 200 cm it is a slimmer stole: open, it covers most of the back; doubled and pulled through the loop, it sits softly at the neck. A good weight for winter weddings held indoors and anniversary dinners.

Buyers of Angelweave in other colours talk most about its softness and its lightness. Nibe found the weave “quite loose and uneven making it very lightweight but warm”, and Kimberly predicts “you will reach for it on the back of your couch time and time again”. Several buyers have come back for more.
