This is a very special shawl. 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).
The shawl is very soft and warm, and heavier than usual pashmina shawls 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 shawl. The length is about 87 inches (221 cms) and width 36 inches (91 cms).
We will ship the shawl within 3 working days of receiving the order. If you are India, we will ship by a courier or Speed Post. If you are outside India, we ship by DHL Enjoy!
We make beautiful woolen scarf for women and men. Our scarves are made with fine pure wool blended with Himalayan wool. These scarves are very soft and warm. The wool is colored with natural dyes, which make the scarves unique. with a lot of character. We make scarves of two sizes. The standard-size scarves are 78 inches (198 centimetres) long and 12 inches (30 centimetres) wide. The small scarves are 50 inches (198 centimetres) long and 10 inches (30 centimetres) wide.
All our woolen scarves are handwoven on traditional looms by weavers in villages around us. We make two kinds of woolen scarves: those in which both warp and weft are of mill-spun wool, and those in which warp is of mill-spun wool and weft is of hand-spun wool. While the scarves made with mill-spun wool are thinner and lighter in weight, the hand-spun wool scarves are thicker and softer. Also, they have a lovely texture.
To make these scarves, wool is hand-processed by Bhotia ladies in Dunda village in the Himalayas. It is hand-cleaned, hand-washed, carded and then hand-spun on a spinning wheel. While in the past it was a common practice in the Himalayan villages to hand-spin wool, it is now confined to a handful of Bhotia villages in Garhwal and Kumaon. We are fortunate to have a long-term association with the Bhotia ladies in Dunda and Bagori villages, who spin wool for our wool scarves and other products.
