What is Pashmina ?
Pashmina is the finest cashmere wool combed from
the underbelly of goat Capra Hircus from the Himalayan
regions of Tibet, Mongolia,
Kashmir and Central Asia.
How
is Pashmina made ?
The Pashmina Wool is too delicate and it is about 14 to
16 microns thin because of which it cannot be spun by
machines. A skilled professional spins the pashmina fibre
with hand and he hardly spins about twenty grams of
pashmina a day. It take about 15 days of man effort to
spun pashmina to make one pashmina shawl This spun
pashmina is then hand weaved with the help of a loom to
make it a Pashmina Shawl. This Shawl is cleaned and hand
dyed to the specific color required with the help of
natural dyes. At the end the fringes are hand twisted and
knotted to give the pashmina an elegant great finish.
Quality assurance is conducted and only approved
Pashminas are shipped for delivery. Overall it takes
about 200 hours to make a Pashmina shawl.
How
is Shamina made ?
An
innovation by kellsons in pashmina known as "Shamina" refers to
a type of shawls made from 13 micron fine Cashmere wool. Shamina shawls
are hand spun, woven on handlooms. This unique fabric is manufactured
completely by hand process, starting from gathering of Cashmere to
spinning and then processing it on Handlooms.
This natural Cashmere is 100% organic Pashmina without chemicals.
This shawl is the finest Cashmere with shades of natural yarn of
Cashmere distinguished with different color of stripes.1/2 inch self
fringes. Our first launch of shaminas was in
2001 on our online stores. Our internet archives may show up
the then startup promotions. Kellsons is
still in progress of innovating the qualities and Cashmere.
Products Shamina accessories are
available in "stole" (28" x 80") to full sized shawl (36" x 80").
Shamina as originally innovation in pashmina resembles the designs of
shahtoosh.
A traditional shaminas shawl with can
range in cost from $150 for an ultra plain shamina or up to $299 for a
super high-quality pure shamina 1/1 weave shawl of 13.0 to 13.5 Micron.
They are known for their softness and warmth. A craze for shamina since
2001 has resulted in high demand for these shawls worldwide.
One can easily smell the chemicals once
it is close to the skin. The simple difference of both is easily known
to every textile designer as power looms provide approximately six to
eight shawls in a day and handloom can only make one shawl in 12 days.
It is also observed that Cashmere yarn
used is machine spun for such shawls on power looms as 13 micron is not
possible to run on such machine due to its fragile nature. A handloom
weaver easily weaves the shamina without compromising on quality of
shawl. It is popularly made in small diamond and large diamond weave,
Herringbone weave and multiple color embroideries. One can differentiate
the commercial aspect by putting it towards light and observe a
symmetric weave without any flaw. The purest shamina, which is made on
handloom does, not have a consistent weave and may have flaws which are
character of fabric.
Sufiyaan
Luxurious Pashminas?
The Sufiyaan name comes
from the family of Persian weavers in Kashmir who have bought this
unique procedure of making this shawls centuries ago. It is a
dedication to their efforts and patience that there creation of this
fabric is known as Sufiyaan.
Sufiyaan is handpicked
organic cashmere from the neck of the baby goat and processed exactly as
Shahtoosh without twisting of yarn on warp and straight single on
weave. It is made in 100% cashmere
with purity of 11.70 to
12.30 Micron Cashmere.
These are made as double ply Taffetas shawls. You may
order the natural color to enjoy the feel ,color and those small white
textured yarn mixed with natural fabric like Shahtoosh. The fabric is
woven much tighter then Shamina and the cashmere in Sufiyaan weighs more
slightly. This is thicker and softer as well and won’t leave you felling
cold in winter also. There is no visible difference in Look, texture and
feel of Sufiyaan with Shahtoosh.
Sufiyaan contents in the
amount ranging from $450 to $750. Kellsons a direct manufacturer &
retailer of Pashmina from Kashmir (India) passes all the
discounts of middle men directly to end consumer without any
