The story of this scarf starts a year and a half ago when I visited the Habu Textiles showroom in NYC. I had already experienced their stainless steel yarn and wanted another one of their strange but simply beautiful and tactile creations.
Shosenshi Linen Paper

The samples in the showroom were amazing, the yarn creates a stiff almost spongy fabric that can be creased but otherwise retains a somewhat self supporting structure. You need to feel it to get it...
A few months later, when I moved to Boston, Shosenshi was one of the few yarns that I took from my stash (most was in storage) because it needed to be used, but it is a tricky fiber to find an application for.
That's when I came across Shalimar Breathless, a cashmere blend, in a coordinating color. Together they became this scarf, possibly the only thing I've knit that works both as a scarf on a chilly winter walk and a wrap for a black tie event.
The result is a luxurious wrap that has a great stiff texture along the edges, but uses some of the softest where the shawl touches your skin.
It is all about the textures, I'm just not a good enough writer to describe it, maybe a poet could.

Great idea. I liked this creativity very much. Cashmere scarf is one of my favorite accessory. NavyasFashion is another online store which is perfect to buy cashmere scarf for men and women.
