When the fine wool of the
Himalayan goat is blended with pure silk from the valley, it yields one of the
‘finest’ pieces of apparel that could drape a woman so alluringly. The Pashmina
silk saree from Kashmir, is a symbol of the spirit of a tradition known for its
fine weaves and breathtaking embroidery.
The Pashmina goats on the high
altitumdes of the Himalayas, are gifted by nature an extremely fine inner coat
of wool, which is several times finer than the human hair and extremely soft,
in order to brave the harsh freezing weather. The size of each strand is so
small that it can only be hand woven. This “Pashm’ or wool that is available,
if blended with silk or cotton, can then be spun, by handlooms or machines. The
Pashmina Silk Saree is a blend of two fine materials which together produce a
fabric that is sheer, light and shining.
There are several varieties
of the Pashminafrom
fine to super fine based on how finely it is woven. There is also a difference
in the fineness of the goat hair available from different heights of the
Himalayas. The Nepal Pashmina fibre or hair is rated as the finest
while the Ladakhi variety comes a close second.
The super fine Pashmina is an exclusive weave that is
extremely soft and smooth, and known to pass the ‘ring test’. High-priced and
sought for the quality of the weave, the Pashmina Silk Saree is known for its
feel and the spreading warmth, and it takes a discerning ability to recognize a
true Pashmina product, since the manufacture of synthetic fibres have now come
into vogue.
Kashmiri embroidery or Kashida as it is known as, employs bright
and colourful designs, with motifs of floral borders, paisley and chinar leaves
and other inspirational settings of nature. The patterns and the colours chosen
for the Pashmina silk saree, so harmonizes with Nature, that
the elegance and allure of the wearer of the saree, is heightened.
There are very many pleasing versions of the Pashmina Silk saree at Unnati Silk which are fascinating
and very captivating. Fancy Prints of block, batik and gold with floral
patterns are current fashion for Pashmina
Silk Sarees, making them suitable for parties, invites or other
social outings. The ‘heavier’ version of the Pashmina Silk Saree, employing
pure silk, has Zardosi or Ari embroidery adorning the fabric and is most sought
after for grand occasions as marriages or special functions.
Heavily adorned pashmina pure silk sari with zardozi aari embroidery is a
magnificent choice for Indian weddings and bridal occasions and also, for those
exclusive college parties and cultural programmes.
