Pashmina Scarf – 30x150cm – 100% Cashmere – Withered Rose

Withered Rose is a faded, dusky pink, like pressed petals, with a little grey-brown that stops it looking sugary. This dusty pink cashmere scarf is a kind colour near the face, especially with silver hair, and it suits a Mother’s Day lunch or a garden party as well as a weekday coat.

It is our 30 × 150 cm scarf in 100% cashmere, woven in a classic twill from a fine 28-count, 2-ply yarn and finished at each end with hand-twisted tassels. Because the cloth is not brushed, it keeps its strength and grows softer the more it is worn. Knot it loosely at the front of a blouse, or wrap it twice on a breezy day.

It makes a thoughtful present. Federica sent our Candied Ginger scarf to her daughter-in-law, and “she really appreciated it”; Sue, a returning customer, found her Cosmic Sky scarf “as lovely as ever”. A couple of buyers felt a colour differed from its photo, so for a close match, order the swatchbook. The cloth is fine and light, and a few expected something thicker; for more warmth in this shade, look at the 90 × 200 cm shawl in Withered Rose.
