de Le Cuona | Felted Cashmere Shawl – Pebble

The Felted Cashmere Shawl in Pebble is first and foremost a tactile piece. Felting closes the surface of the cashmere so that it feels dense, soft and slightly cushioned, with a gentle nap rather than a visible weave. Pebble is a settled, stony neutral, neither quite grey nor quite taupe, and it changes subtly with the light across the day. We think of it as a texture first and a colour second. In a room of plain linen and plaster it supplies the softness that stops a scheme from feeling austere.

It is sold by the piece, and each one is 125 cm wide. The reference is FCS2T. As it is offered as a shawl rather than a length from a roll, we would treat it as a finished accent rather than a cloth to be cut into large quantities. The material is cashmere, and we are happy to confirm the full specification, the exact length and the care details with de Le Cuona on your behalf, so that you have the figures in front of you before you order. We would rather give you a confirmed number than an estimate.

We use a piece like this in small, deliberate ways. Laid across the foot of a bed, it adds a soft band of colour against white or oatmeal linen. Folded over the arm of a reading chair or the back of a sofa, it gives a room a lived-in warmth. It can also be made into a pair of generous cushions, or used to wrap a bench or stool. For pairing, we like Pebble with pale oak, washed linen in cream or stone, and a darker note such as charcoal wool or blackened steel.

Because the cloth is felted, we would keep making-up simple and avoid heavy stitching, which can pucker the surface. If you plan to turn it into cushions, ask your workroom to use a soft, lightweight interlining so the shape holds without stiffness. Cashmere is best kept away from rough surfaces and strong direct sun, and it should be stored folded in a breathable cover rather than plastic. For cleaning, follow the maker's guidance, and ask us if you would like it confirmed before you begin.
