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

Indigo Blue

A Deep Blue Cashmere Shawl You Can Wear Every Day, or Give

The Indigo Blue Handwoven Cashmere Scarf Shawl is a 40 x 80 inch (1 m x 2 m) blue cashmere shawl in 100% Grade A cashmere, woven by hand in Kathmandu and weighing about 70 grams (2.5 oz). It is an indigo blue scarf and an indigo shawl in one piece, made to order after you buy it.

Indigo is the blue that goes with almost everything. Women wear it as a cashmere shawl over a cream top, as an elegant cashmere stole in the evening, or knotted as a cashmere scarf on a cold morning. Folded lengthwise it is just as easy for a man to wear, which makes it an easy color to give.

Indigo or Navy

Indigo Blue or Navy: What Color Is This Scarf?

Woman on a balcony at dusk wearing a women's indigo blue handwoven cashmere shawl, front view

Indigo sits between blue and violet. Navy is darker and closer to black. In daylight this scarf reads as a deep blue with a soft violet cast, and indoors or at night it looks close to navy. If you were looking for a dark blue shawl, a navy cashmere scarf or a navy scarf for women, this is the nearest color we weave, with a little more life in it than true navy.

Indigo here is the name of the color, not the dye. The cashmere is dyed with Azo-free dyes after weaving, not with plant indigo.

For a lighter blue, see our Aquamarine Blue cashmere shawl; for a brighter one, the Royal Blue Essential Wrap. Our Featherlight Cashmere Scarf is woven to a similar weight in more than 80 colors, or browse all handwoven cashmere scarves and shawls.


What to Wear It With

What to Wear With an Indigo Shawl

Deep blue works with the colors most people already own. These are the combinations that work well.

Cream and whiteThe pairing in the photos. Cream makes indigo look richer, and the contrast is clean enough for evening.
A dark blue topA dark blue top with a matching shawl, one shade apart, looks quiet and deliberate. Any blue top with a matching shawl works well when the textures differ, like a smooth knit under this open weave.
Gray and charcoalIndigo is a softer partner for gray tailoring than black. Good for work.
Camel and tanA warm contrast over a camel coat, for men and women.
BlackAdds color to evening black without looking loud.
DenimBlue on blue, relaxed. Keep the jeans lighter than the scarf.

Ways to Wear

Four Ways to Wear a Cashmere Wrap Shawl This Size

For women, this cashmere wrap shawl is 40 x 80 inches, wide enough to cover you and long enough to knot. These are the four ways it is worn in the photos.

The Neck Loop

Gather the scarf narrow, wrap it twice around your neck and tuck the ends in. It sits like a soft snood, the warmest and most elegant way to wear a cashmere scarf on a cold day.

The Full Body Shawl

Open it to its full width and hold it across your back and over both arms. As a full body shawl or full body scarf it covers you from shoulder to hip on a cool evening or a cold flight.

The Cross Wrap

Fold it in half lengthwise, lay it over one shoulder, wrap it once around your neck and let the ends fall at the side. It leaves one shoulder free and stays put while you move.

The One-Shoulder Stole

Drape it over one shoulder as a cashmere stole and let the long end fall to the hip. Folded into a band, it can also be knotted at the hip as a blue waist scarf or waist shawl over trousers or a dress.


As a Gift

A Cashmere Gift for Her, for Him, or for a Team

Indigo is a safe color to give when you do not know someone’s wardrobe, and the scarf comes in one size, so there is nothing to guess. It is wide enough for a woman to wear as a shawl and, folded, long enough to wear as a man’s scarf. Paired with our Aquamarine Blue cashmere shawl, it makes a his-and-hers set in two blues.

Looking for a customized cashmere shawl in blue? We embroider initials, a name, a date or a logo on request. Whether a design suits this fine open weave depends on the design, so email us first and we will reply with a quote and a stitch proof. Personalized pieces are custom-made and cannot be returned. For several pieces, see personalized cashmere gifts and custom corporate gifts.


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.

Searching 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. Compared with a blue silk scarf, which is elegant but cool, cashmere is warmer and softer at the neck. 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

Care

Caring for a Deep Blue 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. A steamer or low iron removes creases.

Between wears, hang it somewhere airy. 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 Indigo Blue Cashmere Scarf

Q. Is indigo blue the same as navy?
A. No, indigo is a deep blue with a violet cast, while navy is darker and closer to black. Indoors or at night this scarf looks close to navy; in daylight it shows more blue.
Q. Is this a good gift, and can a man wear it?
A. Yes, indigo is one of the easiest colors to give because it goes with gray, camel, black and denim. It comes in one size, so there is nothing to guess, and folded lengthwise it works as a long scarf for a man.
Q. Can I order a customized cashmere shawl in blue, with a monogram?
A. Yes, ask us first, because whether embroidery suits this fine open weave depends on the design. Email us the initials, name, date or logo and we will reply with a quote and a stitch proof. Personalized pieces are custom-made and cannot be returned.
Q. What top goes with a dark blue shawl?
A. Cream or white gives the strongest contrast, as in the photos. A dark blue top with a matching shawl also works if the textures differ, and gray, camel and black are safe choices too.
Q. Can I wear it as a full body shawl?
A. Yes, at 40 x 80 inches (1 m x 2 m) it opens wide enough to cover your back and both arms, from shoulder to hip. Folded lengthwise it becomes a 20 inch wide scarf.
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.
Q. Is it see-through?
A. A single layer spread wide is slightly sheer, because the handwoven weave is open and fine. Folded or wrapped twice, it reads as a solid deep blue.
Q. Will the indigo dye run when I wash it?
A. A deep color can release a little dye in its first wash, so wash it on its own in cold water the first time. After that it can be hand washed normally. Dry it out of direct sun to keep the blue deep.
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. It is not a coat, so on very cold days wear it wrapped twice or under a coat collar.
Q. How long does delivery take, and is shipping free?
A. It is handmade to order and delivered within 2 to 3 weeks of your order, with free tracked shipping worldwide. The courier needs a signature, we cannot deliver to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses, and import duties, where a country charges them, are paid by the customer.
Q. Can I return it?
A. Yes, 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, and personalized pieces cannot be returned.
