At high altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature. In the early morning, wool items are steeped in melted glacial snow before being brought to a boil. As the sun sets in the evening, the wool is then dried under the moonlight. This intricate process not only purges impurities but also causes the wool to contract, tightening the fibers. Finally, women meticulously weave and embroider each piece, resulting in textiles of unique colors and embroidery patterns. https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/7552be20-b0cb-4b8e-9336-1e37ed6dd4d4.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/9179e9c8-d18d-4e72-b330-d23962862ec2.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/b5a22c7c-7f83-4df4-a076-96429c7cc13e.jpg The gentle clatter of the shuttle and wooden bars during weaving evokes a simple, tranquil feeling, a hallmark of traditional handcrafted techniques from the Himalayas. https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/bae5cc53-a64d-4dc7-ba03-9fdc72237c17.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/372a315c-a838-42a7-b040-236440c11527.jpg Experience the natural warmth of handcrafted textiles.

Hand-washable; machine washing is recommended with a laundry bag. Material: 100% Himalayan Kashmir Wool Dimensions: 70 X 180 cm (All measurements are taken horizontally by hand. Due to variations in individual measuring methods and positions, slight discrepancies may occur. The measurement error within ±3cm is considered within the international acceptable standard.) Recommended Cleaning Method: 1. Fill a basin with an appropriate amount of laundry detergent and mix with lukewarm water. Lay the scarf flat in the basin and gently press down with both hands about twenty to thirty times. This allows the detergent solution to permeate the fiber gaps, preventing the fibers from tangling. 2. Rinse using the same technique until the scarf is clean. 3. Gently wring out the scarf. Lay the scarf flat on a towel or drying rack and allow it to air dry in a cool, shaded place. Direct sunlight can cause wool fibers to yellow.
