Pink, Grey and Cream Check Wool Scarf

The sky at the first hint of sunrise, with pale pink fading into soft grey, is the inspiration for this colourway in our iconic check. Pink and grey take the lead, creamy ivory brings light, and a fine camel line adds a warm touch. Edinburgh Cashmere is a Scottish heritage brand, and this scarf shows how gently a traditional check can be worn.

The scarf is handcrafted in extra fine pure lambswool at a Scottish mill that has been weaving for over 250 years. In the iconic check, broad pink and grey bands cross in an open, balanced grid, with cream squares between them and the camel line running through at intervals. Wear it with a navy linen shirt and white trousers, a charcoal wrap dress and ankle boots, or a soft black cardigan over a white vest top and dark jeans. The fringe carries fine pink and grey stripes, a quiet echo of the check.

It takes 29 steps to make, and the last is a hand-brushing with teasels that leaves the wool soft, light and gently raised. A gentle, easy scarf that goes with more than you might expect.
