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

Black

A Black Cashmere Scarf and Elegant Black Shawl in One

The Handwoven Black Cashmere Scarf Shawl is a 40 x 80 inch (1 m x 2 m) black cashmere scarf in 100% Grade A cashmere, woven by hand in Kathmandu and weighing about 70 grams (2.5 oz). Opened out it is a black cashmere shawl, folded it is a long black scarf for women or men, and it is made to order after you buy it.

Black is the most useful color a cashmere scarf can be. It goes with everything and never clashes, and in fine cashmere it shows a soft sheen in the light that flat black fabrics do not. An elegant black scarf by day becomes an elegant black shawl at night.

When to Wear It

An Elegant Black Shawl for Evenings, Formal Events and Cold Days

Evening and black tieA black elegant shawl over a black or jewel-colored dress keeps your shoulders warm without hiding the dress. A black shawl, elegant enough for the occasion and light enough to fold into a clutch.
Funerals and memorialsA plain black cashmere wrap is respectful and quiet, and warm in a cold church or graveside in wind.
WorkOver a gray or black coat it adds warmth without adding color. Wear it wrapped around the neck under the collar.
TravelAs a black cashmere wrap shawl it doubles as a blanket on a cold flight and folds small in a carry-on.

Looking for a cashmere shawl elegant enough for a formal evening? For a woman who wants one piece for both, this is an elegant cashmere scarf, a cashmere stole and a cashmere wrap shawl at once.


Ways to Wear

Four Ways to Wear a Black Cashmere Scarf

These are the four ways it is worn in the photos, with how to do each one.

The Open Wrap

Hold it open at full width behind your back and let it fall over both arms. The sheer weave shows its texture as it moves.

Over the Shoulders

Drape it over both shoulders and let the front fall over one arm. An elegant shawl over shoulders like this covers bare arms at dinner.

The Long Drape

Place it around the back of your neck and let both ends hang straight. Long and simple, it adds a soft line over black tailoring.

The Neck Loop

Gather it narrow, wrap it twice around your neck and tuck the ends in. A scarf wrapped around the neck this way is the warmest way to wear it.

For a cashmere shawl draped over shoulders, or any elegant shawl draped over shoulders, fold it in half lengthwise first so it lies neatly. The same cashmere scarf drape works for a shawl draped over shoulders, elegant for evening and warm without bulk.


With a Vest

What Scarf Goes With a Vest?

Searching for a women’s black and gray scarf to wear with a vest? A long scarf over a vest is the look in every photo here: black on black, the scarf hanging loose or looped high. This scarf is solid black, so for black and gray, wear it over a gray vest or a charcoal coat and let the two shades meet.


Other Colors

The Cashmere

What Makes This Cashmere Soft, Light and Warm

Warmth in cashmere comes from fineness, not weight. Very fine fibers trap still air close to your skin, which is how a 70 gram scarf can feel warm around your neck.

14 to 16 micronsUnder US labeling rules, cashmere must average 19 microns or finer. This fiber is finer still, so it feels soft rather than prickly.
35 to 55 mm stapleLonger fibers hold in the yarn better, so the scarf pills and sheds less as it ages.
200/2 yarnTwo very fine threads twisted together give strength while keeping the scarf soft enough to knot without bulk.
About 70 gFolds small enough for a handbag when you do not need it.

Compared with a wool shawl draped over shoulders, or a wool scarf wrapped around neck on a cold day, cashmere is finer and softer, so it does not itch. A black wool scarf for women usually has to be thicker and heavier to give the same warmth. Next to a black silk scarf, elegant but cool, or a black velvet scarf, heavy and stiff, cashmere drapes softly and stays warm. Shopping for a cashmere pashmina scarf draped like this? Pashmina is the traditional name for very fine cashmere, but shops today often use it for blends, so check the label: this one is 100% cashmere. To test any scarf at home, see our guide to telling real cashmere from a blend.


Handwoven in Kathmandu

Made on a Handloom, One Scarf at a Time

Each scarf is woven by one weaver on a wooden handloom in our Kathmandu workshop, which takes about five days. After weaving it is washed, dyed black, checked and mended by hand, and finished with a loose fringe. Your scarf is made after you order and delivered within 2 to 3 weeks, by free tracked courier anywhere in the world.

Care

Caring for a Black Cashmere Scarf

A deep color can release a little dye in its first wash, so wash it on its own the first time. Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent or wool wash, soak for 8 to 12 minutes, press the water through without wringing, rinse in cool water and dry it flat on a towel out of direct sun.

Black shows lint and loose fibers more than other colors. A soft clothes brush or a lint roller used lightly takes them off. For storage, fold it clean with cedar or lavender.

The open weave can catch on rings, bracelets, zips and bag straps. If a thread pulls, ease it back from the other side with a blunt needle. Never cut it.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Black Cashmere Scarf

Q. Is a black cashmere scarf a good everyday scarf?
A. Yes, black goes with every coat and never clashes, so it is the most versatile color for a cashmere scarf. In fine cashmere it also shows a soft sheen, so it looks dressy rather than flat.
Q. Can I wear it to a formal event or black tie?
A. Yes, opened out it is an elegant black shawl over a dress, warm enough for a cool evening and light enough to fold into a clutch. Fold it in half lengthwise and drape it over both shoulders.
Q. Is it appropriate for a funeral?
A. Yes, a plain black cashmere shawl is quiet and respectful, and it keeps you warm in a cold church or outdoors.
Q. What scarf goes with a vest?
A. A long scarf worn loose or looped high, as in the photos over a black vest. For a black and gray look, wear this black scarf over a gray vest or a charcoal coat.
Q. Is it see-through?
A. A single layer held up to light shows the open weave. Folded or wrapped, it reads as solid black.
Q. Is a 70 gram cashmere scarf warm?
A. Yes, around the neck it is warm for its weight, because very fine cashmere traps still air close to the skin. On very cold days wear it looped twice or under a coat collar.
Q. Is it 100% cashmere?
A. Yes, it is 100% Grade A cashmere from the Tibetan Plateau, with no wool, viscose or acrylic. The fiber measures 14 to 16 microns and is spun into a 200/2 yarn, then woven by hand in Nepal.
