70% Pashmina / 30% Silk
A shawl of 70% Pashmina wool mixed with 30% silk. The silk makes the shawl shiny and strong. In Pashmina 70/30, the threads strung on the loom (warp) are silk. Pashmina yarn is used to weave across the silk threads. These shawls are of very good quality. Increasing the amount of silk up to a rate of 60/40 or 50/50 does not increase its quality. Of course a silk shawl is a beautiful product, but the lower amount of Pashmina wool the cheaper the shawls can be made.
