Lightweight, soft, and warm Whats not to love
about the timeless pashmina?
Nothing is more admirable than a fabric that
provides warmth while also being pleasing to the
eye, easy to carry, and soft to the touch.

Lightweight -
A  Pashmina Shawl is surprisingly lightweight
since each of its fibers has a count of just 12
to 16 microns. Full-size pashmina scarves for
women weigh approximately 450 g per piece, making
them super lightweight and easy to carry. It is
often the fabric of choice during the winter. If
the temperature is warm enough, a large shawl for
men or women may even be tied to the bagthat's
how lightweight and airy the pashmina is. This is
one of the reasons why women across the globe
love Pashmina shawls they are as warm as a hug
and as lightweight as a pin.
Softness -
Pashmina wool is extremely soft and fine in
quality. It is considered one of the world's
finest and best-quality wools. After the wool is
collected from the goat, it is stretched and
cleaned to remove any unnecessary waste
materials. It is then soaked in a rice-water
mixture for a couple of days, allowing the
material to soften and prepare for the next stage
of the process. Here's an amazing fact about
Pashmina's softness the sellers of these
exquisite shawls pass the Pashmina Shawl through
a finger ring to prove the purity of the fabric
and to demonstrate how smooth, soft, and fine the
Pashmina shawl is.

Warmth -
An heirloom-worthy Pashmina shawl such as
the  Handwoven Brown Pure Pashmina Shawl With
Kalamkari  by Weaver Story will show you exactly
how amazingly warm a Pashmina Shawl can be. Its
warmth makes it an apt choice for the winter.

that will keep the cold from touching your skin
while capturing heat to keep you warm during the
winter. Bid adieu to baggy sweaters and oversized

The fibres minute micron count
The diameter of a wool thread is measured in
microns, or in other words, a micron count the
lower the micron count, the finer the thread, and
thus the lighter the fabric made from it.
Cashmere fibre has a micron count of 12 to 16
microns, whereas human hair has a micron count of
50 on average. This means that when compared to
human hair, Ladakhi cashmere is four times
thinner. Now you know how fine Ladakhi Cashmere
is, and therefore how exquisitely fine a Kashmiri
Pashmina shawl such as Weaver Story's  Multicolor
Handwoven Pure Pashmina Shawl With Kalamkari can
be.

Handmade from the beginning to the end
There is a reason we call Pashmina one of the
finest handicrafts of Indiait is truly handmade
from scratch. The Changt hangi goat from Ladakh
naturally sheds its coat in the spring, which is
then collected by herders. This pure cashmere is
then cleaned and sold for different processes in
"Kashmir". The fascinating process of creating
the finest Pashmina begins with spinning the
Changthangi goat wool on a wooden spinning wheel
that is spun by women to transform the wool into
12-micron threads. Later, men mount these threads
on a handloom and begin the process of weaving
them into Pashmina Shawls by hand. Only hand
embroidery is done on these shawls if they are
embroidered, as the finesse and flimsy base
cannot withstand the strain of machine embroidery
and may even tear easily if not treated with care.

Less production of the Pashmina, higher demand
from its admirers
This is the fact you must know about these
exquisite Kashmiri shawls the entire process of
production makes owning a Pashmina masterpiece
truly worth it. One Changthangi goat produces
approximately 150 g of wool, which means at least
3 to 4 goats are needed to make a Pashmina Shawl.
For the goats to shed their coats, herders have
to wait for the spring season every year the
spinners wait for the herders to clean it the
weavers wait for the spinners to make fine
threads out of the wool the skilled artisans
wait for the weavers and the process goes on.
Considering the high demand for Pashmina, it is
the customers who have to patiently wait to get
their masterpieces in hand. However, the
unparalleled charm and warmth of the pashmina
make it all worth it.

The expensive art of Pashmina It takes days and
sometimes even years to complete the making of a
single Pashmina shawl.
It is believed that artisans take up to 180 hours
to create a single Pashmina masterpiece. The
resplendent Jamawar shawls are hand-embroidered
over the base and take almost 5 to 6 years to be
made completely. The intricate embroidery
patterns take years to complete because artisans
can only embroider up to a single inch a day.
Everything, from the process of production to the
intricate embroidery, weaving technique, and time
taken to make one Pashmina Shawl, makes it an
expensive piece of art. The one who knows
cherishes the making of the Pashmina, treasures
it, and understands that an extraordinarily
breathtaking Pashmina Shawl is worth every coin,
