These are the cashmere pieces we make for the coldest months. Each one is handwoven in multi-ply knits from long-staple fibres of 34 to 42 millimetres and 13 to 15.5 microns, in a 250-year-old heritage mill.
Wound twice at the neck, a cashmere scarf covers the throat, the mouth and the ears, and holds there without needing to be adjusted against wind. That is what the extra ply is for: a denser cloth turns weather rather than simply insulating against it, and it does so without adding the bulk that would sit badly under a coat collar.
Long-staple fibre is what keeps a winter scarf worth owning past its first season. A longer staple holds the yarn together under daily use, so the cloth stays even and soft rather than roughening at the fold where it is worn hardest.
Worn with a fur coat, wrap it at the neck and let the collar close over it for the warmest version. Left to fall naturally down the front of an overcoat, the same scarf becomes the easier winter layer. The shawls and wraps are cut wide enough to cross at the front and tuck.
