Jacquard Water Pashmina – 70x200cm – 80% Cashmere / 20% Silk – Rhododendron

Rhododendron is a deep crimson with a berry depth, and in this red jacquard pashmina the fine cloth gives it a soft sheen while the woven pattern catches the light as you move. Its cool, wine-leaning tone feels elegant rather than loud: a red for evenings and winter occasions.

The cloth is 80% cashmere and 20% silk, spun into a fine single-ply, 60-count yarn. Water pashmina is the trade name for this especially fine cloth: thin, light and floaty. The jacquard design is woven in, not printed, and both ends are finished with hand-twisted tassels. At 70 × 200 cm it covers about two-thirds of the back when worn open, or doubles up and pulls through the loop as a smart scarf. Made in Nepal.

Fran, who chose Rhododendron, wrote that the colour on screen “does not do justice to this gorgeous pashmina”, describing “a glowing rich red” that is “incredibly soft and light but warm”. Across the jacquard water range, reviewers praise the softness and the pattern, though several found their colour different from the photo, so if the exact shade matters, allow for that.
