Extra large cashmere / silk shawl in taupe gray

An extra large shawl in 60% cashmere and 40% silk, taupe. The cashmere brings the warmth and the softness; the silk brings the smooth hand and the light sheen across the surface. Our page on silk and its origins covers how that fibre is produced.

It measures 250 x 200 cm. That is enough cloth to wrap fully around the shoulders over outerwear, and enough to lie over a chair or across a bed as a light throw between wearings. The cloth is woven in basket weave.

Handwoven in our own weaving mill in Nepal, and part of our range of extra large shawls.

• Composition: 60% cashmere / 40% silk
• Colour: taupe
• Weave: basket weave
• Size: 250 x 200 cm

Care: Wash by hand, not by machine. Use lukewarm water with a detergent made for wool and delicate fibres, move the shawl through the water gently, and press the water out rather than wringing it — twisting is what dulls silk. Dry it flat, away from direct sun and heat sources, and never use the tumble dryer. Most of the time, airing it outdoors overnight is all it needs. See our care page for the full routine.
