100% cashmere shawl in red and green check, with intricate hand embroidered border. Our shawls are handwoven in Kashmir by the finest and most skilled artisans that have been dedicatedly weaving these beautiful pieces for generations. The pashmina wool comes from the Changra goats of the Ladakh region in India. Their wool, which grows in response to the cold climate, is shed in the summer and hand combed to obtain the extraordinarily delicate fibre. Each bundle of wool is hand cleaned, treated with rice paste, washed, and spun into fine gossamer-like threads ready to be spun by local artisans, for whom weaving is like meditation; entwined in Sufi tradition. Dimensions: 198cm x 102cm
