Kashmir Thick-Woven Boiled Wool Crinkled Style Hand-Embroidered Scarf Shawl - Whimsical Grey

From the earthly paradise of Kashmir, India, comes a hand-knitted boiled wool shawl crafted by artisans. The patterns are inspired by the gardens built by the ancient Mughal Empire in Kashmir, evolving into mysterious and elegant motifs using organic floral designs. These pieces were once highly coveted by European nobility. Crafted from high-quality Kashmiri wool using the boiled wool technique, this shawl is both beautiful and durable. It offers an elegantly stylish touch for warmth in winter and serves as a chic layering piece for cooler office environments in summer, ensuring you remain effortlessly graceful anywhere, anytime. Boiled wool is a unique process that leverages Kashmir's exceptional environment. Woven wool shawls are boiled in pristine highland snowmelt collected at sunrise and then air-dried under the moonlight at low temperatures after sunset, a process repeated for a week. The boiled wool becomes condensed and dense with a full, rich texture, making it exceptionally windproof, warm, resistant to shrinking and snagging, and remarkably durable. 🐑 Product Specifications Origin: Kashmir Material: 100% Kashmiri Wool Dimensions: 203 cm x 71 cm This is a purely handmade wool shawl.
