How and where are these pashminas made?

Our Pashmina are hand-crafted in Nepal. Every winter Cashmere Wool is sheared from the mountain goats and washed and graded. The wool is spun into yarn. Silk yarn and Pashmina yarn are hand-woven in wooden frames, the ends are cut and ready to be dyed. After dyeing, fringes are knotted and the Pashmina are dry cleaned for final packaging.

What do the different blends mean?

Pashmina are made by weaving Pashmina (cashmere) yarn on the weft and silk yarn on the warp. Pashmina and Silk content is judged by weight ratio for type of blend. Silk is added to give the sheen, variation of silk content gives different weight ratios.
