Response to Carl: We have tried our best to get a pure white, and this past spring we checked all the pashmina stores in Kathmandu, and nobody else has white. Apparently the yarn's color cannot be covered with such a light color dye. The alternative is bleaching, but this would damage the fiber.

Response to Gabrielle: You might want to consider a "Certificate of Belated Delivery" ... telling your giftee that the pashmina is on the way... or a Gift Certificate, allowing her to make her own choice.
