Pashmina Scarf – 30x150cm – 100% Cashmere – Deep Orchid

Deep Orchid is a saturated magenta with the depth of ripe plums and a cool violet-pink edge. This magenta pashmina scarf is made for winter evenings: tucked into a grey or navy coat for the theatre, with black at a winter wedding, or warmed by a camel coat for dinner.

It is 30 × 150 cm, woven in a classic twill from 100% cashmere, in a 28-count, 2-ply yarn that we leave unbrushed. Hand-twisted tassels finish both ends. The cashmere fibres are long and 14–16 microns across, and the colours are dyed with AZO-free Swiss dyes. Wrap it twice round the neck on the way out, then fold it into a handbag for the interval.

Buyers of other colours often give it as a present: one sent our Red Violet scarf for a birthday, and “it was apparently a big hit with the birthday person”. Because the cloth is fine and light, a few found it thinner than they expected, and a couple felt a colour differed from its photo. For a close match, order the swatchbook; for more to wrap in Deep Orchid, choose the 45 × 200 cm large scarf or the 70 × 200 cm stole.
