Blanket-sized: it covers a sofa or the end of a bed, and still folds into a bag. Pure cashmere — warmer than the blend, and the softest thing we sell.

About this cashmere blanket

Paloma is a soft dove grey, light to mid in depth. It is a cool grey with a faint lilac hint, calm and easy on the eye. It goes with navy, black, white and burgundy, and looks pretty with blush pink. Pearl or silver earrings keep it soft. Wear it to the office, a christening or a spring lunch, or any day you want something understated.

Over 700 grams of pure cashmere, woven 6ply in a basketweave that gives the surface texture and stops a blanket this size feeling thin. At 140 × 180 cm it is big enough for two people on a sofa, or a proper cover on a bed. It is the piece people buy once and keep for years. At 140 × 180 cm it covers two people on a sofa, or the top of a bed.

Pure cashmere, with no silk in the mix, is softer and warmer than the blend and lighter in the hand, and softens further with wear. Handmade in Nepal.

Size and fabric

100% cashmere

Woven from the same 2-ply, 28-count yarn as the classic blend, pure cashmere is a little lighter and floatier, even softer and marginally warmer, with only a tiny sheen. It gets better with use: the fibres brush up slightly, so it looks thicker and softer over time.

What customers say about this style

  1. ★★★★★Danièle F.Paloma

    So soft, so warm !
    I ordered it beginning of December, for my Christmas but I have not been able to wait more than one day before I put it on my bed !
    Paloma is pale grey with a parme shade
    When a whitish colour will be available, I shall order another one.

  2. ★★★★★Kimberly F.Sandshell

    There are some purchases that I consider "Buy It For Life" - meaning that they are such high quality and of such beauty that I will treasure them for years. This 6-ply cashmere blanket from MyPashmina is one of those items. Yes, the humble blanket that lies on my bed - not only is it gorgeous and warm, it will last a lifetime with proper care. Well worth the extra money to buy something this high quality. Highly recommended.

  3. ★★★★★Michaela H.Rabbit

    The Boxweave Blanket is incredible quality, thick, soft and the colour rabbit is exactly as shown on the picture with the lady. Thank you!

  4. ★★★★★Sally B.Sandshell

    Beautifully soft blanket. The lightest weight and a pretty and neutral colour. Very pleased with it.

  5. ★★★★★Liz N.Adriatic Blue

    I had a few cashmeres from mypashmina and I've been happy with it. This time round I decide to order a blanket. I was not disappointed. It came in time for the cold season. The quality is as usual soft, comfortable and warm. I've been using it to wrap round myself while watching television in the evening. A really good buy. Thank you.

Fabrics and sizes

70% cashmere, 30% silk

The classic blend. The cashmere gives softness and warmth; the silk adds strength and a slight sheen, and lets the cloth be woven a little tighter. Five classic widths: 30, 45, 55, 70 and 90 cm.

100% cashmere

The classic pure range: softer and lighter. Four classic widths: 30, 45, 70 and 90 cm (no 55 cm).

Fine cashmere ring weave

A specialist fine weave, separate from the classic fabrics. Standard ring shawls are 90 × 200 cm.

Sizes

Technical detail: yarn, count and ply
Classic pashminas: the yarn
The classic pashminas, in 70% cashmere with 30% silk or in pure cashmere, are woven from 2-ply, 28-count yarn. The pure cashmere ones get better the more you use them: with use, the cashmere fibres get slightly brushed, which makes the pashmina appear thicker and softer with time.
Angelweave: 90% cashmere, 10% silk
The warp (the lengthways threads) is silk. The weft is hand-spun cashmere, spun between finger and thumb in Kathmandu. Many hours go into each Angelweave pashmina.
Pure silk scarves: 210 count
210 count means that 210 metres of the yarn weighs 1 gram. For silk this is the finest quality: a light, floaty scarf that feels soft rather than scratchy. The tassels are hand twisted in the traditional way.
What is ply?
Ply is the number of strands wound around each other. Our classic pashminas are 2-ply. Our fine ring pashminas are single ply. Some thicker pieces, such as herringbone scarves, are 4-ply, and some blankets are 6-ply or 8-ply.
What is count?
Count is the thickness of the spun yarn: the number of metres of yarn that weigh 1 gram. The raw cashmere is the same whatever the count; it is simply spun thinner or thicker. Pieces woven with a higher (finer) count are lighter and floatier, with a silkier feel. They take longer to make and cost more.
