Orange shawl in handwoven cashmere

A shawl in 100% cashmere in orange, handwoven in basket weave from cashmere fibre measuring 15 µm.

Basket weave — plain weave — is the most straightforward of the weaving structures: warp and weft cross in a simple criss-cross, one over, one under. At 70 x 200 cm the shawl is long enough to loop twice around the neck, or to wear open over a jacket. See the rest of the basket weave range.

It is handwoven on traditional handlooms in our own weaving mill in Nepal, almost entirely without electricity, following techniques that have been used there for generations. More about how we weave.

Care: Cashmere rarely needs washing — airing it outdoors overnight will usually do. When it does, use a detergent made for wool and cashmere, by hand in lukewarm water or on the wool programme at 30 degrees. Never tumble dry: press out the water without wringing and dry flat.
