The Fabric – 70% Cashmere / 30% Silk

• The cashmere fibres themselves come from Inner Mongolia, the border region between China and Mongolia where the cashmere goats roam freely. The happier the goats, the better the yarn. The cashmere fibres in this stole are long and just 14-16 microns in diameter. We regularly test random samples to ensure the quality stays consistently high.
  
  
• The cashmere and silk yarns are blended together to make a 28 count / 2ply yarn containing 70% cashmere and 30% silk. These proportions work very well, so that you get the best balance of the benefits of the silk in terms of appearance and strength, and keep the advantages of the cashmere in terms of the softness and warmth.
  
  
• The silk adds a slight sheen to the fabric. Silk is a stronger fibre, so the fabric can woven slightly tighter than with the pure cashmere. The result is a more dense material which feels soft, but also drapes elegantly.
  
  

Dye and Finishing

• Your pashmina stole is finished with hand twisted tassels at both ends.
  
  
• We only use environmentally friendly AZO free Swiss dyes to give your pashmina  it’s colour.

MADE WITH CARE

We have been working with the same people in Kathmandu (Nepal) since 2002, and your purchase helps provide decent long term jobs to over 50 people. 

The factory is located at the edge of Kathmandu in a village area which is gradually being overtaken by the city itself. It still retains it’s village charm with some traditional style Nepalese houses.

A large part of the population in that area are Tibetan exiles, so they have bought their culture and personalities to the area as well.

Staff turnover is exceptionally low because it is a nice place to work.

We think your purchase of this pashmina stole has a positive impact on Nepal, but we want you to buy from us because you will love your new pashmina for its quality, colour and feel.
