The high altitude means water boils at a lower temperature. In the early morning, wool items are soaked in melted highland snow before being heated to a boil. As the sun sets, the wool is then dried under moonlight. This complex process not only purifies the fibers, but also causes the wool to contract, tightening the weave. Finally, women meticulously hand-embroider and weave each piece, resulting in textiles with unique colors and stitchwork. https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/d312ecbc-a874-4ffb-9b04-b3b4b8f1408d.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/e10328f8-047f-435a-880a-703aa6f7a693.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/3e321807-024b-4ee3-88ca-2f3e8ef5c98a.jpg The rhythmic clatter of the shuttle and wooden beams during weaving evokes a simple, tranquil feeling, a testament to traditional Himalayan handicraft. https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/2eecd9d9-9ec9-4ebf-823f-b35c5d4cbec0.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/80eefd22-eb78-4853-ad90-836b2f487380/3c29bf31-56dc-4cb8-ac50-2c1cc43b3d53.jpg Experience the gentle warmth of natural fibers.

Hand washable, though hand washing is recommended. If using a machine, please place it in a laundry bag. Material 100% Himalayan Kashmir Wool Dimensions 70 x 180 cm (Measurements are taken horizontally by hand. Due to variations in measurement methods, fabric elasticity, and starting points, actual dimensions may differ slightly from the stated size. An acceptable margin of error of ±3cm is in line with international inspection standards.) Care Instructions 1. Dissolve an appropriate amount of laundry detergent in slightly warm water in a basin. Lay the scarf flat in the water and gently press it with both hands 20-30 times. This allows the detergent solution to flow through the fiber gaps, preventing the fibers from tangling. 2. Rinse thoroughly using the same method until the scarf is clean. 3. Gently wring out the excess water. Lay the scarf flat on a towel or drying rack in a shaded area to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the wool to yellow.
