          The company's plant located in the serene locality of balaju in the kathmandu valley, is spread over an area of 380 sq meters. The weaving plant is armed with over 250 employees with varied competencies pertaining to every process in the production of pashmina accessories. Our plant constitutes of 50 traditional handlooms together with 70 power loom machines, which are determinant for our production capacity of 40,000 pieces a month. The production is carried in a healthy and friendly environment and the varied processes are functionally integrated to foster efficiency in the production line.

          The first process in the production line is named Warping. It is the process of rolling yarns horizontally on a beam. In case of the conventional pashmina and silk mix, silk is rolled horizontally where as in 100% pashmina shawls, the pashmina yarn forms the beam. Warping depends on the width of the shawl, the wider the shawl the wider is the beam. The second process named drafting is obligatory only in case of jacquards; inserting silk yarn in nylon nettings for the desired pattern is practiced.

          Weaving is done thereafter which is the process of locking or filling the
  warp(the yarn horizontally used) with the weft (the pashmina yarn). Every square
inch of a pashmina shawl has 90-95 horizontal silk yarns and the same amount of vertical pashmina yarn, the 100% pashmina shawls has fewer of them. The mending process follows where checking is done for damages that might have occurred during the preliminary processes. The menders using needles and pashmina yarn fill up the spaces where the threads are missing.

          Knotting is done to the shawl after they have been duly mended, fringes at the end of shawls are the result of knotting which are again, the result of the extra lengths of silk provided in the process of warping for the purpose. Washing is done after that, basically to wash away the odour and the stains that could have been caused in the process and to allow shrinkage so that further similar problems would not arise. Finally the dyeing is done, the shawls are dyed in big vessels at 100-degree Celsius. The shawls have to constantly stirred for colour consistency and the temperature has to be maintained at 100 degrees, as excess heat can prove fatal by shrinking the shawls. After this, the shawls are ironed and then a final but careful quality inspection is done which is followed by the packing process.

Quality of our shawls primarily depends on the quality of the Pashmina yarn used.( The silk used is always the same) The quality of the yarn is defferentiated right in its sourcing stage before it is spun. Pashmina wools of less fiber length and under higher micron (um) are inexpensive compared to our regular yarns which are used for customers who demand lower priced products. Below are the details of our regular yarn used for 80% of our exports( which are the best Pashmina in existence).

The change of count and ply of our yarns can also be done as per customers' demand and specification.

Silk: 140 count, 210 count, 260 count.
