also, since they are not slick like the twills, you can toss them on casually and they tend to stay better, and you can use a scarf ring with them if you play with them enough, the ring can handle the ends in several tying styles.

I mostly use them when I travel, and I love the GMs for the plane or the movies. But these smaller jewels are easier on the budget, and you can really play with colors and patterns...for example, the Jardins d'armenie lends itself better to the smaller size, IMHO.

CBlu, you are an awesome enabler

You have described them perfectly. I am completely sold.
I want more, I need more!!
I need to give it more attention and wear it more often.
Oh, I forgot, I have an H wool 90cm. Its gorgeous, but incredibly scratchy.
I cant remember the name.

CobaltBlu · Sep 24th, 2008, 02:43 AM

Cant wait to see more from you Raz!!!!

The wool is gorgeous but I need soft gentle cashmere to keep me happy, LOL!

You go girl!!!

Have you been bitten by the 90cm cashmere bug??
Or are you feeling like a GM cashmere is sometimes too much?

Well, not until I opened this thread, lol! Your Sur un Tapis Volant is

I have a rouge Couvertures et Tenues, that is soft and cozy.

capulet · Sep 24th, 2008, 03:46 PM

It arrived today! My first cashmere PM, Jardins d'Armenie in black and gold.

I had to run off as soon as I took the pictures, but I'm looking forward to going over it in detail and checking out all those fun little animals. Yay!

CobaltBlu · Sep 24th, 2008, 04:13 PM

OH!!! That is just stunning in that CW~~~
Congratulations!

eeeek....you may have just enabled the enabler, capulet!

Jburgh, would love to see your CT in rouge, I have not seen that cw. It sounds beautiful!

capulet · Sep 24th, 2008, 04:14 PM

If anyone needs enabling, CB's colorway of Sur un Tapis Volant is on h.com right now:

Thanks, CB!

I think I still want the red one...

CobaltBlu · Sep 24th, 2008, 04:17 PM

On my monitor, this is a touch "redder" than mine. The pictures I posted show the purple more true to color, at least on my monitor.

Your mileage may vary.

Thank you! Hey, maybe you'll get to see it in person soon...

HermesNuttynut, your Couvertures is beautiful! That's a great shade of red.

elle tee · Sep 24th, 2008, 09:33 PM

This, I LOVE! I think the 90 cm cashmeres would be great for me as I find that I reach for my non-twills like cotton, mousse, or plisse more than my 90cm twills, but I'm worried the cashmere GM would too much fabric for me because I'm very thin and easily overwhelmed by clothing. Seems like they don't do as many designs in PM as they do GM, though, which is a pity.

I think the one you saw on her was actually Tout en Carre, which has a piece from Couvertures in it. You can see the horse on her shoulder:
