Want this monogrammed? Solid colors are the easiest to embroider well, because there is no pattern for the thread to compete with.

We embroider single pieces as well as sets — initials, a name, a date, or your own logo. Email us the initials or your artwork. We will come back with a quote and a stitch proof. Logo files usually need converting to vector first, so allow a little extra time.

Description

Aquamarine Blue Cashmere

A Light Blue Cashmere Shawl Big Enough to Wrap Your Whole Body

The Aquamarine Blue Handwoven Cashmere Scarf Shawl is a 40 x 80 inch (1 m x 2 m) light blue cashmere shawl, woven by hand in Kathmandu from 100% Grade A cashmere and weighing about 70 grams (2.5 oz). It is made to order for you, not pulled from a shelf.

Most light blue or aquamarine scarf listings sold as cashmere are either narrow neck scarves or blends with wool, viscose or acrylic. This one is neither. At its full width it covers your shoulders and arms like a blanket on a cold flight, and it still folds small enough for a handbag. The color is a light, clear blue with a soft hint of green, the shade of shallow sea water.

Ways to Wear

One 40 x 80 Inch Wrap, Four Ways to Wear It

A full body shawl is only useful if it also works the rest of the time. Because this cashmere wrap shawl is a wide rectangle rather than a long, narrow scarf, it changes shape with one fold.

The Full Body Wrap

Open this light blue cashmere wrap to the full 40 inch width and drape it across your shoulders and arms. This is the scarf body wrap, or full body scarf, people look for on long flights, in cold offices and at outdoor dinners.

The Evening Shawl

Fold it lengthwise and let it fall over one or both shoulders. It sits lightly over a dress, a silk blouse or a tailored jacket without adding bulk.

Over the Head

The open weave is light enough to wear over your hair for a ceremony, a place of worship, or sun and wind, and you can see through it.

The Classic Neck Loop

Gather it along the width and wrap it twice around your neck as a light blue neck scarf, fringed ends in front. Light blue near the face brightens white, cream, navy and gray.


Weddings & Gifts

A Light Blue Shawl for a Wedding, and a Gift That Needs No Size

A light blue shawl for a wedding is one of the easiest ways to wear “something blue” on the day, and it keeps bare shoulders warm once the evening cools. Brides wear it over the dress for photos outdoors, bridesmaids can wear matching shawls, and guests wear it over a dress in white, cream, silver or navy.

As a gift it needs no sizing, and aquamarine is the March birthstone, which makes this shade a natural choice for a March birthday. For a matched pair, Aquamarine sits well beside our Indigo Blue cashmere shawl, one light blue and one deep blue.

The Cashmere

What 14 to 16 Microns and 200/2 Yarn Mean in Your Hands

Cashmere quality comes down to four measurable things: how fine the fiber is, how long it is, how the yarn is spun, and how much cloth you get. Here is what each one means for this shawl.

14 to 16 microns

Fiber diameter is the main measure of softness. Under US labeling law, fiber sold as cashmere must average 19 microns or finer, and most merino wool falls between about 17 and 24. At 14 to 16 microns this shawl sits against bare skin without the prickle coarser wool can give.

35 to 55 mm staple

Staple length is how long each fiber is. Longer fibers have fewer loose ends to work their way out of the yarn, so the shawl sheds and pills less than short fiber cashmere.

200/2 yarn

Two very fine threads are twisted together before weaving. The twist makes the yarn stronger and smoother without making it thick, which is how a 70 gram shawl holds up to years of wear.

About 70 g for 40 x 80 in

That is a lot of cloth for very little weight. Fine fibers trap a layer of still air, so the shawl feels warm on your shoulders yet folds smaller than a T-shirt.


Handwoven in Kathmandu

How a Handwoven Cashmere Shawl Is Made, and Why It Takes 2 to 3 Weeks

A handwoven cashmere shawl is woven thread by thread on a wooden handloom, with the weaver setting the tension by hand. That slower, looser handling is what gives this shawl its soft, open texture, which a fast machine loom pulling the yarn tight does not give. It is also why handwoven cashmere costs more than machine made.

1

The fiber

Grade A cashmere from the Tibetan Plateau is spun into a fine 200/2 yarn.

2

The loom

One weaver works one shawl on a wooden handloom. Weaving alone takes about five days a piece.

3

Washing, dyeing and mending

The cloth is washed, dyed in azo-free dyes and checked by hand, and any loose thread is mended before the fringe is finished.

4

To your door

Your shawl is delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of your order, by free tracked courier anywhere in the world.


Real or Blend

How to Tell Real Cashmere From a Blend

The label is the first test: real cashmere says 100% cashmere, and anything listing wool, viscose, modal, silk or acrylic is a blend. Many shawls sold as “pashmina” are blends, so read the fiber content, not the name. If you want to check a shawl at home, these are the honest tests and what each one can and cannot prove.

Burn testThe most reliable home test. Snip one thread from the fringe and burn it over a sink. Cashmere smells like burning hair and leaves a soft ash that crumbles. Acrylic and polyester melt into a hard bead and smell of plastic. Viscose smells like burning paper.
FeelReal cashmere feels warm in your hand within a few seconds and soft against your neck. Synthetics often feel slippery or cool.
Ring testA fine shawl like this one can be pulled through a finger ring. It shows the cloth is fine and light, but a fine synthetic can pass too, so it does not prove fiber content on its own.
PriceHandwoven 100% cashmere at 40 x 80 inches is rarely sold for the price of a fashion scarf. A very low price usually means a blend or a machine made piece.

Care

How to Wash and Care for a Cashmere Shawl

Hand washing is safe for this shawl and keeps it soft. It takes about fifteen minutes.

1

Soak

Add a mild detergent or wool wash to cold or lukewarm water and soak the shawl for 8 to 12 minutes.

2

Press, never wring

Gently squeeze the water through the cloth. Do not wring, twist or stretch it.

3

Rinse

Rinse in cool water until clear, then press out the excess water.

4

Dry flat

Lay it flat on a towel away from direct sun and reshape it while damp. A steamer or a low iron takes out creases.

Between wears, hang it somewhere airy so the fiber can recover. For storage, keep it clean, dry and folded with cedar or lavender to deter moths.

An open handwoven weave can catch on rings, bracelets, hook fastenings and bag clasps. If a thread pulls, ease it back into the weave from the other side with a blunt needle. Never cut it.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Aquamarine Blue Cashmere Shawl

Q. How big is the Aquamarine Blue cashmere shawl?
A. It measures 40 x 80 inches (1 m x 2 m) and weighs about 70 grams (2.5 oz). That is wide enough to wrap your shoulders and arms like a blanket, and long enough to loop twice around your neck as a scarf.
Q. Is this shawl 100% cashmere?
A. Yes, it is 100% Grade A cashmere with no wool, viscose, silk or acrylic added. The fiber comes from the Tibetan Plateau, measures 14 to 16 microns and is spun into a 200/2 yarn before it is woven by hand.
Q. How long does delivery take, and is shipping free?
A. The shawl is handmade to order and delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of your order, with free tracked shipping worldwide. The courier asks for a signature, so a work address can be easier, and we cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses. Some countries charge import duties, which are paid by the customer.
Q. Can I wear it as a full body shawl or body wrap scarf?
A. Yes, a 40 x 80 inch shawl is the size people mean by a full body shawl or scarf body wrap. Opened to its full width as a body scarf wrap, it covers your shoulders, back and arms, which is why it works as a travel wrap on planes and in air-conditioned rooms.
Q. What color is aquamarine blue?
A. Aquamarine blue is a light, clear blue with a soft hint of green, close to the color of shallow sea water. You may know it as a light blue scarf, an aqua blue shawl or a pale blue cashmere scarf. It is lighter and softer than turquoise and much lighter than cobalt or royal blue.
Q. Can I wear a light blue shawl to a wedding, or another blue shawl for a wedding?
A. Yes, a light blue cashmere shawl suits a wedding as a bride’s “something blue”, as a matched bridesmaid wrap, or as a guest’s evening layer. Light blue does not compete with a white dress, and it keeps shoulders warm at outdoor ceremonies. If you have a date, ask us about rush service before you order.
Q. What is the difference between pashmina and cashmere?
A. Pashmina is the traditional name in Kashmir and Nepal for very fine cashmere, so the two words originally meant the same fiber. In shops today “pashmina” is often used for blends of cashmere with silk, viscose or acrylic, so the name alone tells you little. Check the label: this shawl is 100% cashmere.
Q. Will a handwoven cashmere shawl snag or pill?
A. It can snag, because a light open weave catches on rings, bracelets and hook fastenings, but it pills very little. The long staple fiber and twisted 200/2 yarn hold together well. If a thread pulls, ease it back from the other side with a blunt needle and never cut it.
Q. Is it see-through?
A. Yes, it is slightly sheer, especially held up to light, because it is an open handwoven weave in a pale color. Spread out, it looks like a light blue sheer scarf; worn folded or doubled over the shoulders it reads as a soft solid blue. Deeper colors show through less.
Q. Is a 70 gram cashmere shawl warm enough for winter?
A. It is warm for its weight, but on its own it is not a winter coat. It is right for cool evenings, flights, air conditioning and indoor events, and in winter it works well worn doubled or under a coat.
Q. Who makes this shawl, and can I return it?
A. Baron Boutique makes it, an independent tailoring house founded in 2000 that also makes handwoven cashmere. You can return it within 30 days of delivery if it is unworn and in its original condition, and we refund you within 14 days of receiving it. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the fault is ours.

2 reviews for Aquamarine Blue Handwoven Cashmere Scarf Shawl

  1. Emily Costa –

    Exactly as describedI ordered the aquamarine cashmere scarf and was pleasantly surprised by how soft and luxurious it feels. The size is exactly as described, with plenty of length and width to style it in different ways. I’m planning to wear mine folded lengthwise and draped over one shoulder for a Scottish Fiddlers performance. It has a beautiful feel and is a lovely piece for the price.

  2. Tina Lowe –

    Wonderful softnessThe scarf is beautifully made and just the right size and length. The cashmere feels wonderfully soft, and it provides a comfortable layer of warmth without feeling heavy. I bought two, one in aquamarine and one in grape and I’ve been very pleased with both. The workmanship is excellent, and the quality makes them feel like pieces I’ll enjoy wearing for a long time. I would happily order again.
