Dashing Tweeds, the modern urban fabric designer, makes distinctive cloth by the metre that can be tailored into mens- or womenswear jackets and suits. It has also created a fabulous scarf, woven in Scotland in merino wool and cashmere. The fine gauge weave ombré scarf is versatile: depending how you wear it, the warp and weft threads darken and lighten. By folding in a different direction, you can alter the intensity of colour – whether in a tight knot or a drape. They’re soft and sensuous and available in a wide range of hues.
