Looking to buy something colorful, practical yet a bit unusual for the women in your lives? How about a warm, soft and colorful Pashmina Scarf?
Derived from the wool of a rare goat found in Tibet and Ladakh - Kashmir, Pashmina Scarves are popular for their fine fabric.The yarn is very light and soft. It's highly coveted and in short supply - accordingly good Pashmina Shawls are expensive.
The finesse and softness of a Pashmina Scarf has made it popular not only in Pakistan and India but throughout the world.
All phases of producing Pashmina scarfs are done by hand like shearing the goats, storing, spinning the hair, weaving, coloring, dyeing and sewing. It is a cottage industry in the villages of the Himalayan range.
The scarcity of good yarn makes Pashmina Scarf very expensive. To reduce the cost artisans blend fine silk and cotton with it.
Pashmina Scarves come in various designs and colors. Some are plain while others have beautiful patterns and studded with mirrors and/or embroidered.
