About the Paisley Pashmina Shawl
The Paisley Pashmina Shawl is a double-layer jacquard shawl with a woven tapestry paisley design. Please note: despite the page name, this shawl is viscose and acrylic, not silk. The yarn has a subtle silky sheen.
Because the pattern is woven in, not printed, it shows on the fabric itself. The colours are vibrant and the shawl drapes nicely.
Size
It is about 80 in long with the fringes (72 in plus 4 in fringes on each end) and about 28 in wide. That is generous enough to wrap around the shoulders, and long enough to wear as a scarf.
Fabric and feel
The double layer gives the shawl a little body, so it drapes nicely over the shoulders. The woven paisley shows in both the main colour and the accent colour. The silky sheen of the yarn catches the light, which suits evening events.
Ways to wear it
- Over the head. It is wide enough to cover the head and shoulders.
- Around the neck. Loop it as a long scarf.
- Tied at the waist. Fold it into a triangle and knot it at the hip.
- Over the arms. Let it rest behind your back in the crook of your arms for an evening look.
Choosing a colour
There are 3 colours to choose from: Brown, Grey and Purple. Pick one from the colour menu on this page.
If you want one scarf for everything, a neutral shade is the easy choice. If your coats are black, grey or navy, a brighter colour adds contrast. Screens show colours a little differently, so the shade in person may vary slightly from the photos.
When to wear it
It works in warm and cool weather. Wear it as a light cover at a summer wedding, or as a soft layer on a cool autumn evening.
Caring for it
Hand wash is recommended. Use cold water and a mild detergent, press out the water gently and lay it flat to dry. Store it folded in a drawer, away from direct sun. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as the weight can stretch the fabric.
