Mahroon Sozni Jamawar Pashmina Tantric
This beautiful shawl is hand-embroidered with silk and is a fantastic example of a 'Major Work'. The ends are dip dyed in a dark blue, whilst the body of the shawl is undyed cashmere. The shawl is so densely covered with intricate silk embroidery that it almost looks painted. Embroidered in a Jamawar style with orange, pink and green silken threads. An absolutely stunning shawl, from a revival series designed to have the same aesthetic feel as traditional shawls, part of the Almond Family group of shawls made using the traditional almond design of Kashmir.
The cashmere for this shawl was sourced in Leh, Ladakh, in June 2020 from Mrs Decchan Dolma of Rango Village. Her family have been herding goats for generations. Winter temperatures here can fall below –15°C. In this harsh climate, the goats grow an exceptionally fine undercoat that naturally insulates against the cold. These fibres, selected from the softest Grade A batches, are known for their lightness, warmth and incredible softness. Traditionally, the coarse guard hairs were removed by hand through the processes of scouring, carding and dehairing, carried out in Kullu on this occasion rather than Kashmir as usual.
Spinning the baby soft pashmina by hand is an art practised only in Kashmir, where spinning is a traditional craft. The soft fibre is converted into yarn with a thickness ranging from 110-140 English count. Modern machinery cannot achieve this fine count without a carrier fibre to prevent the cashmere fibres from breaking. It takes approximately one month to handspin 100 gms of pashmina yarn. Woven by Mr Abid Khan on one of his two-hand pit looms
The thread was dyed in Hawal Srinagar by Mr Zakir Wani, while the embroidery was undertaken by Gulam Mohmmad, a craftsman in the Ganderbal district of Kashmir, where hand embroidery is a traditional craft.
Each shawl includes a copy of The Kashmir Shawl, a book that beautifully illustrates the landscapes and lives that shape these shawls, enriching your experience of this artisanal work.

Origin & Sustainability
This shawl embodies the principles of slow fashion — each stage, from sourcing to spinning, weaving and embroidery, is done by hand and can take months to complete. Each artisan brings years of skill, care, and cultural heritage to the process.
Made from Grade A Ladakhi pashmina, this shawl uses one of the world’s finest natural fibres. Cashmere is not only supremely soft and warm, but it is also renewable, biodegradable, and long-lasting — a conscious choice for those who value quality over quantity.
Every shawl has been very carefully handled for photographic purposes. They have been carefully pressed, with no direct contact with heat, only touched with clean hands, and then moved to the mannequin. All photography for these precious shawls is carried out by Sarah, the owner of The Wool Company.
