100% pashmina scarves made by weavers of Kashmir. ShalinCraft pashmina shawls, scarfs and stoles are made in 100% pashmina fabric. They are never mixed with normal wool, silk or viscose.

Pure pashmina scarfs, shawls and stoles are woven from the soft fleece (pashm) of the neck and the under belly of ibex (capra hircus) that thrives in the remote regions of Ladakh and Tibet plateaux. The high altitude, combined with the mountain goats meager diet and inherent genetics, enable it to grow a coat of wool which is among the finest and warmest on earth. The animal is not harmed in this process, the hairs being removed through combing; but only small amounts can be obtained, as little as five ounces from one animal in one year. A single shawl can take the wool from five to six goats. Wrap yourself in pashmina scarf and you will never want to take it off. We recommend pure pashminas to be dry cleaned only.
