About the Craft
Every inch of this pure Pashmina shawl tells a tale of perseverance and tradition. In order to maintain depth, vibrancy, and authenticity, the traditional dying method is used to create the solid color in small batches. In contrast to commercial techniques, Pashmina dyeing by hand necessitates deft handling, numerous rinses, and hours of meticulous drying to preserve the fabric's softness and inherent sheen. This is more than simply a shawl; it is a piece of sustainable fashion woven with devotion, with each tint and thread celebrating Kashmiri artistry.
The art of Pashmina Shawl making involves a series of meticulous steps. It all starts in Ladakh where the down fibre of the changthangi goat is collected, cleaned, and sorted. The fibre is then hand spun by womenfolk of the valley - which is the most painstaking labour of love. To spin fibre for one Pashmina shawl, a single artisan takes atleast 2 months, with just a handful of fibre spun per day. Even this takes them 8-10 hours everyday. Spinning is followed by weaving, where men mount the delicate spun fibre onto wooden handlooms and create heavenly soft and lightweight Pashmina shawls. These are later handed over to specialists for further embellishing like dyeing, embroidery, or prints
Pashmina Care
Always dry clean your Pashmina for the best results. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild Pashmina or Cashmere shampoo. Avoid wringing or twisting; instead, press gently to remove water. Lay flat between two towels, roll to absorb moisture, and air dry away from sunlight.
Store your Pashmina in a cool, dry place wrapped in a muslin cloth with neem or cedar wood. With proper care, it will remain soft, beautiful, and wearable for generations.
Before You Receive Your Pashmina
Each Pashmsutra piece is handmade, making every shawl truly one of a kind. Slight irregularities in weave or colour are part of its authenticity, reflecting the artisan’s craftsmanship rather than flaws.
Minor variations in colour may occur due to screen settings. While every effort is made to present shades accurately, actual tones may appear slightly different in person.
G.I. Certified Handspun Pashmina: Why It Is More Expensive than Regular Pure Pashmina
Pashmina has for long been cherished and celebrated as the pinnacle of luxury. It is a fabric, so fine,warm and timeless that even the highest of royalty adorned it for centuries. But among all the forms nature blesses our wardrobes with, Handspun Pashmina stands apart as the purest, most authentic. Before modern machinery took over, the threads were spun exclusively with bare hands, slowly, delicately, with a deep emotional connection between the artisans and the fibre. Today, just a small percentage of artisans follow this ancient method, making handspun pieces incredibly rare and precious. Yet there are a few dealers of handspun shawls, like Pashmsutra, which sells 100% pure, hand spun shawls online......
