When we think about Kashmir, Pashmina deliberately comes into our minds. The fine quality fabric is popular for its finesse and softness not only in India but worldwide as well. Pashmina is a highly precious and valued fiber and it is wide known for its usage in the handmade shawls of Kashmir. And these Cashmere shawls have been manufactured in Kashmir and Nepal for thousands of years now. High on quality, these light-weighted pashmina shawls are immaculate in their warmth and softness. Pashmina is made of this cashmere wool which is known for its strength, lightness, softness, finesse and most importantly the warmth.
The quality of pashmina is such that, pure pashmina is considered to be almost weightless. Therefore while crafting the pashmina shawls certain amount of silk is added to render it some weight. And surprisingly the quality of the pashmina is adversely proportionate to the quantity of silk added to it: lesser the added silk is, higher the purity of the pashmina is.
The shawl comes in varied patterns, and ranges from the Jamawar Paisley work Pashmina shawl, to the simple and elegantly printed ones. The flora and fauna motifs best depict the Jamawar Paisley work. Paisley are the shawls meant for Western and European buyers who are highly interested in the handicraft work on these intricately designed pashmina shawls.
Pashmina shawls have been traditionally woven by the families involved in the pashmina business for generations. The intricacies of the embroidered pashmina designs have been forwarded from one generation to the next. These traditional weavers are responsible for keeping this art form alive, maintaining the high standards of quality that Pashmina shawl is associated with. The information and knowledge accumulated for centuries in a weavers' families is passed on to the next generation, which has helped Pashmina shawl to improve further in designs, looks, textures and patterns. Although traditional designs are being pursued, however, experiments and innovations have made pashmina the most sought after commodity today.
Pashmina shawl is manufactured in Kashmir, Tibet and Nepal besides several other parts of the world.It is not only tough but almost impossible to pontificate exactly when Pashmina was first brought into use. Zayn-ul-Abidin, the famous founder of the Cashmere wool industry is said to have introduced pashmina to the weavers from Central Asia. Since 17th century, famous and powerful emperors, kings, queens and nobles from around the world have revered this special wool, known as 'cashmere' to the west.
The technique of shawl-weaving tasted prosperity during the Mughal regime in India when pashmina was entitled as royal by the Mughals. Emperor Akbar had an avid fetish for this enchanting Pashmina fabric. Later, the shawl became a fashion statement in London and Paris. Josephine, Napoleon's wife, was known to have an avid collection of around one thousand Pashmina shawls. Therefore, pashmina's qualities have been renowned worldwide. And no doubt today pashmina is the reigning fabric with ever increasing demands in the rich and the royal society.
