Cashmere wool
The wool comes from animals that live high up in the Himalayas, at over 3500m in Ladakh. No penned animals, but animals that roam the barren wilderness of the mountains with their shepherds.
The pretty Kashmir goats with their long floppy ears and cozy warm fur live here. The goat gives the owner a noble hair that is many times softer, lighter and warmer than sheep's wool.
At 150 g / animal, the yield is significantly lower than with sheep and the animal is usually not sheared. Instead, the undercoat is combed out after winter.
✓ 100% handcraft
✓ Original cashmere wool
✓ Made in India
Manufacturing
The entire manufacturing process, such as washing and sorting, is done by hand.
The finished yarn is traditionally woven into beautiful shawls by men. They work on an elaborate pattern on wooden looms for up to 4 weeks. Dozens of twine spindles with dyed twine lie in front of the weaver, who, in days of labor, lays one strip over the other.
This is how unique cloths are created. Even if the same pattern is used, each scarf is unique.
We have decided not to “commission” any special cloths, but to leave the selection to the weavers.
Why we have Indian scarves in our range
It all started with a message from India. India, the country I love to travel to, has moved a long way away due to Corona and the news touched me very much: "No work since March" wrote my guide Abdul, with whom I have been to India many times. No, it wasn't a begging letter, just a short message about how the people there are doing.
Donating money was not a solution and so we wrote to people who had already been with Abdul to place a bulk order for kashmiri shawls. Within a very short time there were over 50 orders and so the goatherds were able to sell their wool, the weavers operate their looms and Abdul take care of the organization and the transport to us. A total of 15 people were suddenly back in wages and bread.
So that this campaign does not remain a one-off support, but people have a perspective of continuing to earn money, we are now offering the scarves in our shop. Most of what a cloth costs goes directly to India, to the people who are responsible for the extraction of the raw material and the manufacture.
