CowPrincess Posted April 5, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Faux pashmina, if I recall correctly. I'm fairly certain I saw a display of colored fabric shawls onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeWheat Posted April 5, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The ones I saw onboard last summer were not cashmere (Pashmina), but were of such good quality, you could hardly tell the difference. I don't remember how much they were, but I do remember thinking it was a good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted April 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Faux, yes and they were on sale recently on the Noordam for $10 in many, many colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamadot Posted April 5, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think a true pashmina is cashmere! Mine were made in Nepal and are very expensive so I do not think the ones sold on board are. They would probably be easy to care for and comfortable on the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodworker&knitter Posted April 5, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yes they do, and they are only $10.US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelly Posted April 5, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted April 5, 2009 OP here. Excellent! Thanks. The faux will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabreezer Posted April 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The faux pashminas will do in a pinch if you think you need a wrap for the dining room but they don't pack nearly as well as a true pashmina - they wrinkle excessively. They also don't feel as weightless as a pashmina. I certainly wouldn't buy them for gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INSIDERS CABIN Posted April 5, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2009 ditto-the $10 pashminas wrinkle- a lot- but are nice bright colors and work well in a pinch onboard. Material is fairly coarse;hold up to light and look for imperfections in weave and spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
