The swatchbook of 2008

If you've been to Mypashmina.co.uk lately you probably noticed that we introduced our new swatchbook this summer. A lot of effort was put into this swatchbook to make sure we have every colour you would ever need, while still being small enough for us to send it out to you. All of the 117 new colours are Pantone colours to make it easier for you to find matching cashmere products for the rest of your wardrobe.

This pile of beautiful colourful greens and blues (and a little yellow) gives you alternatives of colours that could brighten your outfit. The colours you see are, in order from the top: mp12 Buttercup, mp89 Lime Green, mp85 Forest Green, mp90 Online Lime, mp93 Verdant Green, mp94 Ultramarine Green, mp96 Biscay Bay, mp97 Enamel Blue, mp106 Princess Blue.

As you can see we have several different shades of off-white to perfectly match your outfit. Because of the delicate cashmere fibre we will never be able to offer you a pure paper white, but the whitest shade we have is completely undyed and perfectly natural. The bleaching we would have to use to make a pure white would destroy the cashmere fibre, so watch out when looking at pashminas from other sources. The colours you see in this pile are, in order from the top: mp1 White, mp2 White Sand, mp10 Winter White, mp77 Silver Birch, mp76 Sandshell, mp11 Italian Straw, mp78 Green Haze, mp40 Barely Pink, mp100 Blue Glow.

If you prefer the elegant and muted shades, there is a wide range of muted colours in the swatchbook. This pile shows you only some of the purple and pink shades, but we do have muted shades of every colour of the rainbow. The colours you see here are, in order from the top: mp54 Nightshade, mp63 Rabbit, mp58 Purpla Ash, mp42 Wood Rose, mp43 Withered Rose, mp44 Wild Ginger, mp31 Raspberry Wine, mp27 Rhododendron.

Not all of these colours are in stock in every model and size, but for no extra cost at all we can have any pashmina or cashmere knitwear made for you in only 3-4 weeks from any colour in the swatchbook. That's the way we do things at Mypashmina.co.uk

Cashmere Wrap Cardigan

Another new addition to the Mypashmina collection, the 100% Cashmere Wrap Cardigan pictured left is a great piece for any wardrobe. Available in two colours Ivory & Silver Grey (pictured) this cardigan has a lovely diamond design on both the hem and cuff - just enough to give the classic knit a lift without distracting from the elegant silhouette.

Two new colours for an old classic!

The Classic Polo Neck really is a must for every wardrobe, Black and Navy Blue are of course great basics but why not add a splash of colour with a warm pink or a forest green?

We now have both Rose of Sharon (left) and Garden Green (right) available to buy via the website.

Top quality cashmere at Mypashmina

Did you know that not all Cashmere is the same quality? We here at Mypashmina do our utmost to ensure that you only receive the highest quality garments. Firstly, we regularly send our products for testing. On the right is one of our test certificates to prove we only supply pure cashmere. We do this every few months. When buying cashmere its important to look into where it comes from and the actual cashmere contents if you want to be that its pure, as there are so many underhand producers and manufacturers on the market. Its not unusual to find cashmere products claiming to contain 100% cashmere when it actually contains a mix of wool, rabbit fur and other unidentifiable materials.

If ever in doubt, just give us a call and we will be happy to explain the origin or our Cashmere for you.

New Arrivals # 2!

I think the most exciting new pieces for me have to be the dresses - you will be able to choose between an elegant evening dress - (left) perfect to take you from the office to cocktails or a beautiful cap sleeve tea dress with a hint of 1920's sophistication (right).

Remember, if you see a style that you like but would just like to change a few details you can always contact us - we are always happy to help you design your perfect piece!
