These cocoons are transported to the capital, Kathmandu, over a three-hour journey to be transformed into fluffy silk floss, which is then spun into yarn by women using spinning wheels. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0272/7123/3634/files/24SS1_stole_1080_1080_2.jpg?v=1749789145 The spun yarn is then meticulously handwoven into scarves by artisans with over 20 years of experience. For this collection, both the warp and weft threads are made from hand-spun raw silk. To prevent the delicate silk threads from breaking, approximately three scarves can be woven per day. This time-intensive process results in a uniquely uneven texture and a substantial feel, characteristic of hand-spun raw silk, culminating in a luxuriously soft and fluffy scarf. **Simple Home Care** After use, gently brush to prevent pilling. If soiled with sweat or other substances, hand wash with a neutral detergent, press gently, and dry in the shade. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0272/7123/3634/products/MN42460_care.jpg?v=1666158028 Raw silk becomes increasingly soft with continued use, offering a beautifully evolving texture. *The off-white color is undyed and may feel slightly firmer compared to other colors. It will remain somewhat firm after washing, requiring further wear to achieve its characteristic softness.
