This superior grade Pashmina fiber is used to create the world’s finest shawls, and is far removed from the commercially produced and often coarsely woven, blended, or faux “pashmina” that floods the fashion market.
In this particular Pashmina shawl, the weavers have chosen to use an especially lovely hand-spun yarn in a mixed shades of gentle Lilac and Quiet Taupe. Delicate variations in the fine twist of the yarn, density of weave, and the occasional inclusion of darker fibers during the loom process result in very subtle shifts of light and shadow, beautifully enhancing the texture of the petite twill weave pattern, referred to as “Kani” in Kashmir. Every aspect of the creation of this exclusive shawl, from the gathering of the natural Pashmina fiber, to spinning, dying, and weaving in Kashmir, has been accomplished through hand means by highly skilled artisans.
This luxurious and classic Stole size Pashmina Wrap with its distinctive self-fringe wholly characteristic of the time-honored style of Kashmir, is suitable to wear for any occasion or to present as a cherished gift to a loved one. Gracefully lightweight, yet woven in warm double twist pashmina yarns with a cloud soft touch, it is worldly, sophisticated, and timelessly elegant.
Fabric: 100% Pure Pashmina from the Tibetan Plateau and Kashmir
Stole Size Dimensions: 31" wide x 78” long with distinctive, traditional self fringes
