Knitted Stripey Scarf – 170x25cm – 100% Cashmere – Adrift

Bright cobalt leads the way in Adrift, a blue striped cashmere scarf with bands of light aqua, soft sage and pale cream in between. The cobalt is the colour you notice first; the paler stripes beside it stop it feeling loud, so the whole scarf comes across as fresh and breezy rather than bold.

It is 170 × 25 cm and knitted in two layers of pure cashmere, using a 2-ply, 28-count yarn. Knitted cashmere has more stretch and give than a woven pashmina, and the double layer makes it thick enough to be your main winter scarf. Tubular knitted tassels neaten each end. It is long enough to loop twice round the neck, or to wear once with the ends left hanging. Made in Nepal.

Thea bought this one and called it “a lovely scarf and really good quality”. She later came back for another stripe in the range, saying she owned a couple of other colours too and that “they are all really versatile”. Other reviewers of these knitted stripes talk about how soft and thick they feel, and how much they enjoy the colours.
