Pashmina Large Scarf – 45x200cm – 70% Cashmere/30% Silk – Olivenite

Olivenite is a green that changes with the light. The faint sheen of our cashmere and silk blend catches its golden side in sunshine, then settles back to a soft, mossy olive under cloud, so this olive green pashmina scarf never looks flat. It is at home with country clothes: a stone or tan coat, a chocolate jumper, a little rust or mustard.

The large scarf measures 45 × 200 cm. Doubled and pulled through the loop, it hangs to around the waist; worn open, it covers the top half of the back. Our model is about 5 ft 6 in, which helps when judging the length. The yarn is 70% cashmere from Inner Mongolia, with long fibres of 14–16 microns, and 30% silk for strength. Handmade in Nepal.

Sue, who bought this colour, summed it up as “So subtle”. Large-scarf buyers mention softness and warmth most, and Mary, writing about our Gloxinia, called it “a great size for inbetween seasons”. Several found their colour looked different from the screen, so if you are matching a coat or outfit, order the swatchbook first. For more width, there is also an Olivenite shawl in pure cashmere.
