Pashmina means “gold wool” in Persian, the name given to the wool fabric produced in Kashmir. The weaving process is an art originating from the 15th century. The weaving of a Kashmir Pashmina Shawl is done using the centuries old processes and techniques. Pashmina shawl is weaved by an artisan called Wovur in Kashmir and the process is called Wonun.
The warp is made by manually winding the pashmina yarn across 4 to 8 iron rods erected on the ground. This process is called Yarun in Kashmiri.
Approximately 1200 threads are stretched across 10 mts to complete a warp. The person making the warp has to walk 1200 X 10 mts or 12 kms around the iron rods.
