Hi ladies, I recently got my first cashmere gm (the ever so gorgeous fleurs et papillons de tissus!) and I have a question regarding stretching. I've worn it gently maybe 6x max and I've noticed that it isnt as "put together" as when I first got it. It seems a bit stretched out/looser. Is this normal? I hope someone knows what in the world I am talking about! :push:

Love the pics Dharma!!! I've seen this GM IRL and it truly is a stunning cw. Love all the bright pops but the GM remains subdued overall.

Thank you, IF! It was a good way for me to put a little orange in my life :smile1:

Great shot, dharma....I've been eyeing this one for a while! I'm really not a fan of orange, and I would have to hide the purple, but I've "visited" this one a few times.....just love the way the colors look together. It's pretty, a great design, and it totally works. Do you think this would go with rouge h?

I think the purples would be easy to hide so that wouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't say rouge H "matches" but perhaps with the right outfit or attitude you could get it to work. The orange definitely pops since the grey is blue ish so if you really dslike orange you may not ever reach for it. I don't love orange either, but oddly, it loves me, lol, so I took a chance.

BBC, great choice of Mors. This will look smashing on a summer evening, too - or now.

dharma, I love these colors together and wonder what you are pairing them with. IMO, this color way is one of H's very creative and unique ones. It is gorgeous.

Maedi, thank you! I love how unusual it is too. I wear a lot of grey so I think it works easily for me and gives a little lift to my daily dreary palette :laugh: it also works with browns, camel and navy and certain light blues.

Stunning! Is this the same cw that our dear chincac is wearing in her mod pic?:smile1: Or hers is a different design maybe, I will have Another look. Beautiful soft pastels, very flattering!

Edit: just saw hers is the Licorn design. Both stunning.

BBC, I have been looking forward to seeing this cw, it's beautiful, it reminds me of the Aegean Sea. Can't wait to see more pics, when you get chance!

Brit, love this picture....is it Santorini? Wish I was there now as I look out the window at all this snow!!

I haven't seen this colorway of FePT posted so I thought I would put it here for reference. It's an unusual mix that's perfect for those of us that like the brights tempered with a bit of neutral :smile1:
Grey cendre/corail/violet

Thank you, Dharma. I know, orange is not my first choice, but it is definitely one of "my" colors. I think I have been warming up to it over the years, as it really flatters....this would be my third orange scarf in a year, compared with maybe 2 over the prior 15 years...and I absolutely fell in love with the cw, just the way the colors are put together are so modern and aesthetically pleasing. That's a huge thing for me, the aesthetics. I might have to take a chance, too!

Thank you Gnippohs! What cw of rose compas did you get? Did I miss your reveal??

dharma said:
Gorgeous! Every colorway of Mors is amazing!! This is why I try my best to stay away from this very dangerous thread ;)

Dharma, I agree it's a very wearable design for this season. I think everyone could find a cw that would look beautiful on them.

Question for you. I bought the Lab du Temps in the grey CW............I think that CW is somewhat similar to the Papillon? (I think the Papillion is much prettier............great choice). Does anyone have any thoughts re: CW's?
