Pashmina Large Scarf – 45x200cm – 100% Cashmere – Black

The pure cashmere large scarf

Size

45 × 200 cm = 18 × 79 in: full length but relatively light, and one of our most popular sizes. Double it up and pull it through the loop and it drapes to the waist; worn open over the shoulders, it covers the top half of the back; or wrap it twice round the neck.

The cloth

100% cashmere in a 28-count, 2-ply yarn, woven in a classic twill. 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 to keep the quality consistent.

The cloth is not brushed. Brushing makes cashmere look thicker, but it breaks many of the fibres and shortens the life of the piece; unbrushed cashmere keeps its strength and softens with use. Pure cashmere is a little softer and lighter than our cashmere and silk blend, and warmer for its weight.

Finish and colour

Both ends are finished with hand-twisted tassels. The colours are dyed with AZO-free Swiss dyes.

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 large scarf in stock.
