Shawls

Pashmina accessories are available in a range of sizes, from "scarf" 12 in × 60 in (0.30 m × 1.5 m) to "wrap" or "stole" 28 in × 80 in (0.71 m × 2.0 m) to full sized shawl 36 in × 80 in (0.91 m × 2.0 m) and in rare cases, "Macho" 12 ft × 12 ft (3.7 m × 3.7 m). Pure pashmina is a rather gauzy, open weave, as the fibre cannot tolerate high tension. The most popular pashmina fabric is a 70% pashmina/30% silk blend, but 50/50 is also common. The 70/30 is tightly woven, has an elegant sheen and drapes nicely, but is still quite soft and light-weight.
