This beautiful wrap begins its journey as a Pashmina fiber somewhere in the mountain ranges of Ladakh, India. This fiber is passed to a weaver after an elaborate process of cleaning and spinning. The weaver gives it the form of a wrap by interweaving it into warps and wefts with utmost skill and dedication.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis luxurious, glamorous piece is made by the best traditional artisans. It took days to complete. A true border-less and elegant fashion accessory with incredible features like extra light weight, super soft \u0026amp; and naturally warm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE PASHMINA SHAWL?\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina shawls are renowned for their exceptional softness, warmth, and lightweight nature, derived from the fine undercoat of the Changthangi goat, a breed native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHere's a more detailed look at what makes pashmina shawls so special:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n1. UNPARALLELED SOFTNESS :\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina wool, obtained from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, is incredibly fine, with fibers measuring between 12 to 15 microns in diameter, finer than human hair. This fineness contributes to the shawl's exceptional softness and luxurious feel. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n2. EXCEPTIONAL WARMTH :\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite being lightweight, pashmina shawls are remarkably warm due to the fine fibers' ability to trap heat effectively. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n3. LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina shawls are known for their durability, often becoming family heirlooms passed down through generations. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n4. BREATHABILITY :\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina wool is highly breathable, making it comfortable to wear in various climates. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n5. RARITY AND EXCLUSIVITY :\u003cbr\u003e\nThe limited availability of the Changthangi goats and the low production of Pashmina wool, coupled with the intricate handcrafting process, contribute to the rarity and exclusivity of these shawls. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n6. SYMBOL OF LUXURY AND TRADITION:\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina shawls are often seen as a symbol of luxury, tradition, and craftsmanship, particularly in regions like Kashmir and Ladakh. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n7. ETHICAL CONCERNS:\u003cbr\u003e\nIt's important to note that ethical concerns surrounding the treatment of the Changthangi goats have led to some legal challenges in the pashmina industry. However, traditional pashmina production is often rooted in respect for nature and animals, with the livelihoods of herders and communities dependent on the sustainable and ethical treatment of their livestock. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n8. AUTHENTICITY :\u003cbr\u003e\nIt's important to note that there are many fake pashmina shawls on the market. To ensure you get a genuine pashmina shawl, look for artisans who use the traditional methods of hand-spinning and weaving, and consider buying from reputable sources. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n9. WEAVING :\u003cbr\u003e\nThis shawl is made by using a traditional loom. The weaving technique is a tilt process of weaving. In this procedure, the woolen shawls are manually made by winding, drafting, denting, pulling, and adjusting as per the requirement. The artisans use the color graph as the reference for the design that they will weave manually. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n10. PASHMINA WOOL:\u003cbr\u003e\nPashmina comes from an animal fibre Cashmere, derived from the Changthangi goat of Ladakh. It is well known for its warmth, lightweight, and softness in addition to its characteristic dye absorbing property. Pashmina has been accredited by the Guinness Book of World Records for being the costliest cloth in the world (after a ban imposed on Shahtoosh - the fibre produced by the Tibetan Antelope). The reason for being world-renowned is the diameter of each Cashmere thread, which is just 12-16 microns. Note that human hair has an average diameter of 50 microns, and that makes Cashmere fiber equal to one-fourth of a human hair!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS :\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMEASUREMENT:\u003cbr\u003e\nLength - 83 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth - 40 inches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCOLOR : \u003cbr\u003e\nBlue\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMATERIAL  :\u003cbr\u003e\n100 % Pure Pashmina\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry  Of Origin:\u003cbr\u003e\nIndia\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBRAND :\u003cbr\u003e\nNamasteYOGAstore \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCARE INSTRUCTIONS: \u003cbr\u003e\nDry cleaning is recommended. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDISCLAIMER :\u003cbr\u003e\nSince this is completely handwork, please expect minor color variations from what you see in the image.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease be reminded that due to lighting effects, the monitor's brightness\/contrast settings, etc., there could be some differences in the color tone of the website's photo and the actual item.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNamasteYOGAstore\u003cbr\u003e\nOur small NamasteYOGAstore is an effort to bring to light India's rich textile handicraft heritage.
