The base fabric (Natural Pashmina) is handwoven from the inner coat/fleece of the central Asian species of antelope goat found at 14,000 ft above MSL in the Himalayas. Natural handwoven Pashmina is incredibly light, soft and warm. It is more precious than gold by weight and is mostly referred to as "light as woven air". The Pashmina fiber is only 14 -19 microns in diameter, it cannot be spun by machines, so the wool is hand-spun on handlooms by the finest artisans of Kashmir, mostly women. The skill of the artisan to spun the fine yarn determines the price of the shawl - the yarn can be spun so skilfully as to resemble a strand of silk. Pashmina fibers are finer and thinner than Cashmere which makes it ideal for the making of a luxurious shawl and scarves.The hand embroidery work is extremely fine and is done by the finest artisans of Kashmir.
