100% Pure Pashmina Shawl

A Kashmiri Pashmina shawl is made through a series of steps, including:

Herding:-
Pashmina goats are raised at high altitudes, where they develop a fine fleece under their thick winter coat. In the spring, herders gently comb the undercoat from the goats, which is called "asli tus". 

Cleaning and spinning:-
The raw wool is cleaned and spun by hand. Because the wool is so fine, it can only be spun by hand and mostly Kashmiri ladies are found to do this job at homes on a round wooden hand cycle to spun a wool. 

Warping:-
The yarn is manually wound across iron rods on the ground to create the warp. This process is called "Yarun" in Kashmiri. 

Dressing:-
A person called a "Bharangur" or "Warp-Dresser" stretches and fixes the yarn in the heddles of the loom. 

Weaving:-
The spun yarn is mounted on a traditional loom and woven by hand. The yarn is carefully stretched and interlaced to create the shawl. 

Embroidery:-
The shawl is hand embroidered with a running stitch along the edges, and motifs of flowers, animals, birds, and geometrical shapes. The embroidery can take weeks or more than five years to complete, depending on the design. 

Warmth:-
It's a very delicate and light weight wool that has a magical effect as It typically features as heating  insulation to retain heat, providing warmth . 

The entire process is extensive and requires precision, which is why only a few businesses have been able to survive in the industry.
