Textiles: Shawls, Scarves, Pashminas...call them what you will

Beautiful scarves in all hues imaginable, 

in all fabrics and blends possible, 

and in many price points, seem everywhere.

Myriad of shawls at the men's tailor

It's nearly impossible to choose. 

Silk/cotton blends are lovely for warmer temperatures

 and exquisitely rich jewel tones.

Silk & Cotton Blends

Fine woolen shawls with embroidered designs

are beautiful to ease the chill on an autumn evening,

or air-conditioned restaurant.

The warm colours are complemented by subtle stitching.

Scarves and shawls aren't just for the ladies. 

Gents can cozy up with one for watching a late movie.

Soft wool in manly shades

My favourites? 

The pashmina. These are from Kashmir.

Gossamer cashmere so light and fine.

Versatile too. 

Fold up to use as a scarf,

or open out to use as a shawl.

Pashminas with a couple of Silk & Cashmere blends thrown in.

But really, I love them all!

Prepared for all eventualities

Bet you can't choose just one!

We were lucky to stumble upon a Textile fair at Dilli Haat when last in Delhi.

It's where we found our beautiful carpets...more on those soon.

 There were textiles of all sorts from all over India.

We liked the fella from Kashmir best.

I hate to say it, but I'm not done yet.
