I regret that I didn't immediately return this. It was not soft at all, despite material supposedly being cashmere and silk. It also shed all over my blouse when I tried it on. When I attempted to soften it up with Eucalan (a fabric conditioner and softener for fine fabrics, especially wool products), which usually does the trick, the garment shed so much dye that my sink turned pitch black. I could have used the water to dye another garment black! I hate to think how much color transfer/bleeding would have happened if I had worn the shawl for any length of time over my white blouse.I would not purchase another product from this company ever.
Product Description
Unfazed by the scientific age, pashmina shawls are hand spun the same way it has been done for centuries. The hairs are gathered from the Himalayan goat called Hircus, which lives at high altitudes, 12 to 14000 feet in the mountains. The Pashmina is gathered by hand, stored and combed by nomadic herders. The threads are hand woven on handlooms over a silk wrap, which gives the fabric resilience. Once the fabric is loomed, each piece is hand dyed in open vats. Afterwards it is given to the different craftsmen for hand-embroidery, beading and /or printing. They are very soft and luxurious in feel. These shawls are woven from the best quality of Cashmere Pashmina and Silk. These shawls can be worn as a wrap or a scarf. The size is 78 inches long and 28 inches wide and each shawl is finished with 2 or 2.5 inches long tassels. The fabric comprises of approximately 70% Cashmere Pashmina and 30% Silk. The combination of Cashmere and Silk makes the fabric versatile and resonating with color. The shawls are hand loomed in Nepal and India and are offered in a wide selection of vibrant colors. We recommend dry cleaning.
