The Cashmere and Pashmina Layered Look for Spring

Why not combine two stylish pashminas to create a fabulous layered look for Spring? We've chosen a cerise hand spun pashmina with our gorgeous tree of life cashmere scarf.

The tree is created in an off white colourway to highlight the never ending branches that spread all over the scarf. This tree, like many has a story to tell with its long branches intertwined with nature. The contrast in light and dark green with fuchsia depict the changes in life cycle.

The cerise pashmina can be smoothly drawn through an opening as small as a wedding ring. It is also the lightest weight in cashmere scarves making it perfect for travel. It weighs only 46 grams. 

The pashmina yarn is woven in a birds eye weave. This weave adds strength, allowing the scarf to be extremely light while extremely pull-resistant.

In the photos, the two wraps are layered to give extra warm and a fabulous look! The wraps are feather light and you can either intertwine them together to give a braided look or you can put them one on top of the other to give layers. 

These wraps are so super soft and warm! You can even snuggle with this in the evenings! You won't want to part with your wraps! 
 

Confused about Cashmere or Pashmina?

These two words have been widely misused. Many products sold under these names are simply woollen items. So what are cashmere and pashmina, and what is the difference between them?

Both cashmere and pashmina are wool – but not any old wool. They come from a particular type of goat – called a cashmere goat (not to be confused with the Indian state called “Kashmir”).

Cashmere goats are found only at very high altitudes. Cashmere or pashmina is the fine undercoat grown by these animals to save them from very low winter temperature. Goats shed this wool in the spring. An average goat yields about a pound a year of this very fine wool. This is then processed to produce Cashmere or Pashmina yarn.

There is nothing else quite like it. It is light, warm and soft like no other wool. Its low bulk makes it ideal for travelling with, and wearing it makes you feel like a million dollars.

But what is the difference between cashmere and pashmina? The answer is… very little – it is just a matter of the diameter of the fibre. Pashmina fibers are finer than cashmere (there are strict definitions for each of these fibres), so it is considered the better of the two. Apart from that though, they are the same sort of wool taken from the same sort of goat.

 A lot of adverts confuse matters, especially because, in recent years, the word “pashmina” has been promoted much more than “cashmere” in the UK. Many people have been confused into believing that “pashmina” is simply a style of scarf or shawl – and so will pay lot of money for something made of ordinary wool, or even synthetic fibre. Don’t be confused though – both cashmere and pashmina come from a very particular source, and pashmina is simply the best cashmere.
