| Pashmina making in Cashmir is an art, a craft that involves hand processing skills passed down through generations. Our adept cashmiri artisans, mostly women, separate the thinnest, silkiest hairs and weave them into various articles that are luxuriously soft, warm, lightweight, and durable. A few years ago pashminas were mainly woven plain but there are now a variety of other weaves to choose from, such as twill, herringbone, basket weave, stripes, random weave. Pashmina comes naturally in off white, gray or brown but the wool is easily dyed to complement any color scheme. We can dye any color from the Pantone Matching System Color Guide. Dyeing is done manually using colorfast eco-friendly dyes.
