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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand dyed and totally handwoven by skilled craftspeople.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2157\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2157\" data-end=\"2166\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 x 200 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2222\" data-end=\"2293\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2222\" data-end=\"2238\"\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Cashmere, sourced in Ladakh from Grade A fibres\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2296\" data-end=\"2325\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2296\" data-end=\"2307\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Kashmir\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eProduct Care\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessional clean only. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Sustainability\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis shawl embodies the principles of slow fashion — each stage, from sourcing to spinning, weaving and embroidery, is done by hand and can take months to complete.
