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 with a twist that includes both soft natural taupe as well as lighter fibers, resulting in a gentle heather appearance, beautifully enhancing the petite diamond weave pattern with quiet lines of texture and tone. Every aspect of its creation, 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 Full size Pashmina Shawl 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.
