I just went to India and travelled to the village where my family lives. There, women spend 10 hours every day hand weaving these beautiful scarves. There are two kinds: 1 type is 100% silk from Kashmir (where the village was) and the other type is 100% wool from Kashmir. It is extremely difficult to get authentic Kashmiri materials as it’s a war zone. I bought many to support local business, but don’t actually wear scarves! I paid more than the selling price, but we’ll consider it a donation :)
