Open Fringe Pashmina Scarf – 45x200cm – 100% Cashmere – Grape Royale

This purple cashmere scarf is Grape Royale, a deep, regal purple with a hint of red, dark and saturated. On an unbrushed twill the colour looks crisp and even, and the open fringe at each end shows the yarn itself.

It is woven from 100% cashmere in a 28-count, 2-ply yarn in a classic twill and left unbrushed, so it stays strong and softens over time. Instead of tassels the ends have an open fringe: the cloth stops without a hem, and a few last rows of weft hold the warp threads in place. At 45 × 200 cm it is a large scarf, full length but fairly light. Doubled and pulled through the loop it drapes to the waist; worn open over the shoulders, it covers the top half of the back.

Men often prefer an open fringe to tassels, and pure cashmere to the silk blend, so this is a good scarf for a man. Buyers of other colours mention softness and gifts: Lesley found it “the soft cashmere I prefer” and “always the perfect gift”, and Lynda, who wanted a scarf for a bright red coat, says it “will be very much worn this winter”.
