How and where are these pashminas
made?
Our
Pashmina are hand-crafted in Nepal. Every winter Cashmere
Wool is sheared from the mountain goats and washed and graded.
The wool is spun into yarn. Silk yarn and Pashmina yarn are
hand-woven in wooden frames, the ends are cut and ready to
be dyed. After dyeing, fringes are knotted and the Pashmina
are dry cleaned for final packaging.

What do the different blends
mean?
Pashmina
are made by weaving Pashmina (cashmere) yarn on the weft and
silk yarn on the warp. Pashmina and Silk content is judged
by weight ratio for type of blend. Silk is added to give the
sheen, variation of silk content gives different weight ratios.
