Stunning purple hand-embroidered cashmere pashmina with delicate orange, gold, and pale blue stitching. The intricate vines of embroidery cover the whole body of the pashmina in a Jaal style that was crafted by Mr Nazir Ahmed and his family.
The raw pashmina wool for this piece was collected from herds in Ladakh in the Northern Himalayan Region. Temperatures here can reach minus 35 degrees during Winter in this cold desert region. The goats grow a fine long-haired undercoat that forms a natural heat-insulating shield against the cold. This fibre is light and warm with amazing insulating properties, the fibres are extremely fine varying between 9 - 16 microns. The cashmere chosen for this pashmina has been specially selected from the finest Grade 'A' fibres.
The spinning, weaving, dyeing, and embroidery were accomplished by skilled craftsmen in Srinagar.
