Nepalese cashmere hand-embroidered pashmina, twill weave rich burnt orange cashmere embroidered with vines of golden flowers giving it a rich sumptuous look. Embroidered by Mr Mohammad Abdul Hameed 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 craftspeople.
