Pashmina Ring Shawl – 90x200cm – 100% Cashmere – Dusty Lavender

The cashmere ring shawl

Size

90 × 200 cm = 35 × 79 in: a full-size shawl that covers the whole back when worn open. The cloth is so fine that it also doubles up easily as a scarf, and it makes a light but warm blanket for a long journey.

The cloth

100% cashmere in a very fine, single-ply 60-count yarn: about 60 metres of it weigh one gram. It is woven in a simple box weave into a light, floaty cloth that packs down very small, yet keeps the warmth of cashmere; it is fine enough to pass through a ring. The finer yarn gives it a slight sheen next to our 28-count pure cashmere.

The cashmere comes from Inner Mongolia, on the border between China and Mongolia; its fibres are long and 14–16 microns across, and we test random samples regularly. The cloth is not brushed, so it keeps its strength and softens with use.

Finish and colour

Both ends are finished with hand-twisted tassels. The colours are dyed with AZO-free Swiss dyes. The same cloth comes as a smaller ring stole, 70 × 200 cm, with an open fringe.

A colour we do not have in stock can be made to order, with tassels, an open fringe or a hemmed edge. It normally costs the same as the equivalent shawl in stock.
