It is a very special stole. It is made with pashmina bought by us directly from a cooperative of nomads in Ladakh. To maintain the character and purity of pashmina it has not been exposed to any chemicals and has been hand-spun by women in Rajpur on a charkha (spinning wheel). This is a very slow process, requiring great skill.
These stoles are heavier than usual pashmina stoles made with mill yarn.There may be small variations in size as it is made on a handloom. There may also be some inconsistencies in weaving and dyeing, which add to the character of the stole. The length is about 86 inches (213 cms) and width 24 inches (61 cms).
We will ship the stole within 3 working days of receiving the order. If you are India, we will ship by Speed Post. If you are outside India, we ship by DHL. Enjoy!
We make woolen stoles using a blend of pure merino and Himalayan wool. The stoles are coloured with natural dyes such as madder, indigo, harada and tesu flowers in the Himalayas. The dyed yarn is hand-woven into beautiful stoles in villages in the foothills of the Himalayas.
