Kashmir Thick-Woven Boiled Wool Crinkled Style Hand-Embroidered Scarf Shawl - Forest Green

Hailing from the enchanting lands of Kashmir, India, this boiled wool shawl is meticulously handcrafted by artisans. The patterns are inspired by the ancient Mughal gardens built in Kashmir, evolving into mystical and elegant designs using organic floral motifs, which were once highly coveted by European nobility. Crafted from the finest Kashmiri wool, this shawl's boiled wool technique results in a piece that is both beautiful and durable. It offers an elegantly chic layer for warmth in the winter and serves as a sophisticated accessory for cooler office environments, ensuring you remain poised at all times. The boiled wool process utilizes Kashmir's pristine environment. Woven wool shawls are simmered in high-altitude snowmelt collected at sunrise, then taken out after sunset and air-dried under moonlight at low temperatures. This process is repeated for a week. The boiled wool becomes condensed and dense with a rich texture, making it exceptionally windproof and warm, resistant to shrinkage or snagging, and incredibly durable. 🐑 Product Specifications Origin: Kashmir Material: 100% Kashmiri Wool Dimensions: 203 cm x 71 cm This is a pure handmade wool shawl.
