Pashmina Shawls Artisans at work in Pakistan

Derived from the wool of a rare goat found in Tibet and Ladakh - Kashmir, Pashmina Shawls are popular for their fine fabric.The yarn is very light and soft. It’s highly coveted and in short supply - accordingly good Pashmina Shawls are expensive.
The finesse and softness of Pashmina Shawls has made it popular not only in Pakistan and India but throughout the world.
All phases of producing Pashmina Shawls are done by hand like shearing the goats, storing, spinning the hair, weaving, coloring, dyeing and sewing. It is a cottage industry in the villages of the Himalayan range.
The scarcity of good yarn makes Pashmina Shawls very expensive. To reduce the cost artisans blend fine silk and cotton with it.
Pashmina Shawls come in various designs and colors. Some are plain while others have beautiful patterns and studded with mirrors and/or embroidered.
