These cocoons are transported to the capital, Kathmandu, a journey taking three hours, where they are transformed into fluffy raw silk. Then, women use spinning wheels to draw out the threads. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0272/7123/3634/files/24SS1_stole_1080_1080_2.jpg?v=1749789145 The resulting silk threads are then hand-woven into scarves by artisans with over 20 years of experience. In this collection, both the warp and weft are crafted from hand-spun raw silk. To prevent breakage of the delicate threads, approximately three scarves can be woven per day. The time invested in their creation results in a distinctive uneven texture and a substantial feel, characteristic of hand-spun raw silk, culminating in a wonderfully fluffy and soft scarf. **Simple Care at Home** After use, gently brush to prevent pilling. If the scarf comes into contact with sweat or moisture, hand wash with a mild detergent and air 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 use, allowing you to enjoy its evolving texture over time. *The off-white variant is undyed and may feel slightly firmer compared to other colors. It will retain this firmness after washing and will soften with continued wear.
