Extra Fine Handspun Antique Design Kani Pashmina Shawl

Rich, vibrant, extravagant. Absolutely a conversation piece! This extra fine Kani pashmina shawl comes with a soft salmon pink base and splendid design composition featuring vivid floral and leaf designs. We absolutely love the rich and complex design details and color combinations, this is a classic, vintage design that has been revisited time and time again for its stunning beauty and iconic value. 

A light weight Kani pashmina shawl is very wearable, you can easily pack it in your bag, and enjoy the comfort of fine pashmina even in spring and summer seasons, wear it in a dress up moment, or simply wrap it around your white T shirt and jeans. 

The use of extra fine pashmina yarns and state-of-the-art weaving makes the shawl light and soft, yet durable at the same time. A traditional practice that is still cherished by many shawl manufacturers and design houses. 

To weave a design this full and detailed, the artisan will have to use approximately 200 tujis and 9-12 months time. Though the work is even more painstakingly demanding when the weaving artist works with extra fine (180 Count) pashmina yarns that have been hand spun, which makes it extremely fine and easily breakable. It is becoming more and more challenging to produce authentic, vintage designs today given less and less interest and availability for the skillset required. 

The shawl feels very light, soft to the touch and the fabric shows a very good density. 
We are very happy to have been able to make a small collection of several pieces with this kind of grand design and beautiful weaving quality. 

A piece of work not to be missed.
