This Shawl/Throw was hand loomed by Artisans and may have some minor defects in the weaving and color due to the "Natural" Colors of the yarn but these give the Shawl/Throw its character and style...

Himalayan Tibetan/Nepal Cashmere Goats:

Handmade/Hand loomed: The Nepal Himalayan Cashmere yarn comes from the Tibetan Plateau Goat that is indigenous to the high altitudes of the Himalayas in Nepal/Tibet/India.

Many people believe the Himalayan Cashmere from Nepal & Tibet is one of the best in quality because of the conditions to which the mountain goats have adapted over centuries. The high Himalayas of Nepal/Tibet have a harsh, cold climate so in order for these mountain goats to survive, they have developed an exceptionally warm and light fiber that may be slightly coarser and warmer than cashmere fibers obtained from lower region goats. There are significant differences in the quality of Cashmere. The longest and finest fiber is collected from the throat and/or the underbelly of the goat. These fibers command the highest prices. The lighter colored fibers are more expensive. You will find these items selling in the stores for 2 to 3 times our pricing.

True Cashmere is such a fine hair/fiber that it cannot be machine woven. Nepal/Tibet Cashmere is all hand loomed. At times hand loomed Shawls/Scarves/Throws are known to may have some minor flaws and if they are missing these minor flaws then the weaver is excellent or it may have been woven by a machine. Machine woven Cashmere [Pashmina] is most likely a blend of Cashmere and Silk and is most likely made in China.
