Pashmina the finest wool fiber fashion accessory

Posted on September 29, 2020 by f1rst3r

Pashmina is derived from the word Pashm, which means “finest wool fiber”.  It is a fine type of cashmere wool. It is hand made from wool taken from the undercoat Himalayan mountain goats called “Changthangi”, which are found in Nepal and in Tibet. One pashmina shawl is produced by at least three goats, as one goat produces only 80 grams of wool in one year. Pashmina is known to be the softest, glamorous, and expensive wool in the world. It got its Cashmere attribute because it is hand processed in the valley of Kashmir, Northern India.

Process of making pashmina:

  1. Collecting of wool

    All of the wool collected from the goat is gathered, and then the soft pashmina hair is separated from the coarse ones. Both coarse and soft hair are further processed.

  2. Spinning of the wool

    Before it is spun, pashmina wool is cleaned and stretched to remove any dirt. It is then soaked in a mixture of water and rice to make it soft. Pashmina wool is then spun painstakingly by hand on a spinning wheel called “Charka”.

  3. Weaving of the wool

    Pashmina wool is weaved on hand looms, as they are too fragile to be spun on power looms. Pashmina is carried through the fine silk warp.

  4. Putting fringes and design on the wool

    The ends of pashmina shawls are then fringed, to ensure that it won’t run.

  5. Dyeing of the wool

    As any other process of making the pashmina shawl, scarf or stole, dyeing is also done by hand. Dyeing of the wool is done in one hour, in under the boiling point, and in metal and azo free dyes. As pashmina wools are highly absorbent, they are easy to dye.

Uses of pashmina scarf:

  • Improve the appearance of outfits

Its elegant and sophisticated look can make any outfit of yours stand out. It can be used on your neck, face or on your head. It can also be used as a belt, to be tied around your waist.

  • Wrap a baby

Pashmina is the softest wool in the world, thus making it perfect material to wrap around your new-born child. You can use it as your baby’s blanket at night, as you are sure that it won’t harm you baby’s delicate skin.

  • Cover your arms

It can be used as shawls, especially on occasion that require you to wear cocktail dresses and gowns. Most cocktail dresses and gowns are sleeveless, and there are times when you’d want to cover your arms. Either to hide your arms, or to keep yourself warm, you can always look classy with a pashmina scarf.

  • Wrap up gifts

Pashmina shawls themselves can become a gift, but making it as wrapper can make any gift look better.

  • Beach accessory

Pashmina scarves are lightweight, and soft, making them ideal for wrapping around your body while you walk under the heat of the sun on the beach. They would make your bikini stand out, and look stylish.

  • Bring style to your home

Pashmina scarves is a class of their own, and what better way of beautifying your home than using a pashmina scarf. You can drape it over a chair, or put on top of your tables.

A pashmina can be more than just your ordinary scarf, they not only keep you warm during wintry months, but also a stylish part of any wardrobe.

Trends in wearing scarves

Posted on September 29, 2020 by f1rst3r

Scarves are not just practical accessories, but also very fashionable all yearlong. How we use them is only limited by our imagination, because a well-chosen model can make lively and fashionable a dull outfit. In recent collections, designers use a wide range of models for women’s scarves: narrow, wide, short, excessively long shawls or collar scarves, all equally fashionable.

Fur Scarves

Women’s fur scarves are widely used in the collections of major international fashion houses and renowned designers. They use both monochrome models, prints and colored or leopard print. Regarding the length of the fur, there is no preference, it can vary from a few millimeters to about 10 centimeters. Fur scarves can be successfully accessorized with almost any attire: from evening gowns to office suits or can replace the woolen scarves when worn with a trench. You can try to match it with fur bags, which are very trendy.

Neck scarves

One of the most popular models in any collection is the neck scarf. It can be embroidered, discreet, made of fur or knitted, narrow or wide enough that you can wrap yourself in it from head to toe. It is important to distinguish between an ordinary outfit and one in trend.

Textures

For women’s scarves, any material is accepted, including leather or silk. Pattern scarves are in style, knitted or made out of fur and decked with fringes, tassels, intricate knots, in short, everything that is bulky or more layers.

Very interesting proposals come also from the sphere of shawls, which gives us additional heat in the cooler days. Patchwork (mosaic), striped or plaid, they can be worn either around the neck – for a relaxed and bohemian look, either discrete high over the shoulder – for a more elegant look, easy to adjust a formal context.

And if declarative accessories are your specialty, you can go on animal print pattern scarves – either snakeskin, zebra fur or leopard.

Colors

Trends in colors are not restrictive at all. You can wear without worrying gold, silver scarves, stripes, geometric prints inspired of popular costumes. You can choose scarves in the same color and texture as the clothes you wear or in contrasting colors to personalize them. Moreover, why not, harmonizes them with makeup!

For the pleasant autumn weather, fashion houses recommend colorful scarves that make us dream to field flowers, the azure sky and autumn leaves blessed by the sun. You can also opt for simple or crepe options, which will complete the outfit with one of the hottest colors of the season: red, orange, yellow, solar, beige, caramel, blue, green-emerald or purple.

The scarf can become a friend to get you out of any fashion challenge. Pin it with a brooch or a safety pin and wear it with an attitude!

Also for cold days, designers recommend fur scarves, which in spite of being opulent, can be combined with all kinds of outfits. But if you want a winter accessory for an ultra-refined outfit, the most recommended option is of the generous fur shawls, or embossed with floral designs.
