What's our production process?

Spinning

Hand-spinning is a thorough process that demands careful execution. It necessitates a significant amount of dedication and patience throughout its duration.

Weaving

Due to the sensitivity of Pashmina wool to the vibrations produced by power looms, the traditional 100% Pashmina Shawls are exclusively woven on hand looms. Weaving, considered an art form, is meticulously executed using a shuttle, with each shawl requiring approximately four days to complete. This time-honored technique has been proudly passed down from one generation to the next.

Dyeing

Similar to spinning, dyeing is conducted manually. Azo-free and metal dyes are employed in this process to ensure the production of entirely eco-friendly shawls. Utilizing pure water sourced from deep underground, the dyeing process occurs at a temperature slightly below boiling point for approximately an hour.
