Cashmere wrap "Aap" (आँप) – Yellow, Ring Pashmina, handwoven

Regular price €99,00
Taxes included. Free standard shipping.

Product description

When the midday sun stands vertically on the bricks and makes everything yellow even yellower – that is Aap.

Aap (आँप) is a rich sun yellow, woven plain. A wrap like a good day: simple, warm, straightforward.

Woven single-ply, 12 gauge, 15.3 microns, 75 grams, and so fine that the whole wrap slides through a finger ring – hence Ring Pashmina. It was made by hand on the loom in Nepal.

Size: 67 × 196 cm (26 × 77 in)

Material: 85% cashmere, 15% virgin wool

As this is a purely natural product, there may be slight variations in colour and size. The incidence of light and the type of light source can also slightly affect how the colour appears.

Details

Material

  • 85% cashmere, 15% virgin wool
  • Cashmere from the undercoat of the Chyangra goat from the high pastures of Manang and Upper Mustang
  • Fibre fineness 15.3 micron
  • Handwoven in Nepal

More about the making and the fibre: Cashmere wool

The key figures in the item text

Every item text gives four values. This is how to read them:

Ply – thread count. How many single threads are twisted into one yarn. The wraps in this template consist of a single thread — the lightest and finest wrap we weave.

Gauge – thread density. The higher the number, the finer and denser the weave. These wraps are woven at 12 gauge.

Micron – fibre fineness. The diameter of the individual fibre in thousandths of a millimetre. A human hair measures 50 to 100 micron depending on type; the cashmere of these wraps measures 15.3 micron. The finer the fibre, the softer the fabric falls and the more threads the same area needs.

Weight. The weight of the finished piece in grams — here 75 grams. The graphic further down shows what share of a Chyangra goat's annual wool this corresponds to.

Handcraft

Every piece is made entirely by hand — the weaving as well as the fringes. A wrap like this spends 17 to 21 days on the hand loom.

Ring pashmina

The material is so delicate and the threads are so fine that the whole wrap can be drawn through an ordinary finger ring — the oldest test of the fineness of a cashmere wrap. It does not refer to the shape: it is an open wrap with two ends, not a closed loop scarf.

The Chyangra goat

A Nepalese Chyangra goat yields only around 150 to 200 grams of precious raw pashmina per year. After careful cleaning and the removal of the coarser hairs, only a small part of it remains as usable, exceptionally fine fibre.

Natural product

As this is a natural product, slight differences in colour and size may occur. The incidence of light and the type of light source can also slightly influence how the colour appears.

Care and storage

Care

The fineness of the cashmere fibre gives this piece its soft hand, its lightness and its drape. With the right care, these properties are preserved for many years.

✓ Air it regularly rather than washing it often

Cashmere is often called “self-cleaning”. That is not quite right – the fibre does not clean itself. But it binds odours inside the fibre and releases them again when aired, and odour-causing bacteria find poor conditions on its dry surface. That is why a cashmere wrap rarely needs washing: aired overnight, it is fresh again the next morning. Whatever has soaked into the fibre – red wine, oil, sweat – has to be washed out.

✓ Gentle hand washing recommended

For cleaning, we recommend gentle hand washing in cold to lukewarm water (max. 30 °C). Use only a high-quality wool or cashmere detergent or a pH-neutral shampoo.

✓ Machine washing only on a special programme

If your care label permits, the piece can be washed on the wool programme at a maximum of 30 °C. Use a laundry bag and a special wool detergent, and select the lowest spin speed.

✓ Do not rub, wring or stretch

The fine cashmere fibres should only be moved gently during washing. Vigorous rubbing, twisting or pulling can impair the fabric and the softness of the fibres.

✓ Remove moisture gently

After washing, press the piece out carefully without wringing it. Then roll it in a clean towel to absorb excess moisture.

✓ Dry flat

Ease the piece back into its original shape on a flat surface and let it dry lying flat. Do not hang it up, as the weight of the moisture can distort the fine fabric. Do not tumble dry.

✓ Protect from heat and direct sunlight

Direct sunlight, radiators or other strong sources of heat can dry out the delicate cashmere fibres and impair the brilliance of the colours.

Storage

✓ Store with care

Always store the piece clean and completely dry. For longer storage, breathable fabric bags are advisable, along with natural moth protection, for example cedar wood or lavender sachets.

✓ Cashmere pilling is natural

With high-quality cashmere products, small bobbles (pilling) can occasionally form, especially in the first weeks of wear. This is a natural process and not a defect in quality. The bobbles can be removed carefully by hand or with a special cashmere comb.

✓ Professional cleaning if needed

For heavier soiling, professional cleaning by a cleaner experienced in handling high-quality cashmere products is advisable. Always observe the care instructions on the label.

Cashmere wrap "Aap" (आँप) – Yellow, Ring Pashmina, handwoven

€99,00
Blaues Kaschmirtuch, einfädig gewebt, um die Schultern gelegt – das Licht scheint durch das Gewebe

85% cashmere, 15% virgin wool

A wrap that fits in one hand

A wrap of this grade weighs 75 grams — as much as a letter. A single thread, 12 gauge, 15.3 micron: the undercoat of the Chyangra goat, about a fifth of a human hair.

Itching occurs when fibre ends are thicker than about 30 micron: they do not give way under pressure, but press on the skin at single points. Our fibre is half as thick and bends away before that happens – even directly against the neck.

So fine that the whole wrap can be drawn through an ordinary finger ring. 17 to 21 days of work at the hand loom.

Ring pashmina

Through a finger ring

The material is so delicate and the threads are so fine that the whole wrap can be drawn through an ordinary finger ring. Hence the name.

It does not refer to the shape — it is an open wrap with two ends, not a closed loop scarf. It refers to the yarn: a single thread instead of two or four, 12 gauge, 15.3 micron.

It is the oldest test of the fineness of a cashmere wrap.

How to store your cashmere products

With the right storage, the soft hand, the elegant drape and the brilliance of the colours of this wrap are preserved for a long time. Dry storage protected from light protects the fibres and supports a long life.

Regular care

• This wrap usually needs only a little care. It is often enough to air the wrap regularly in the fresh air.

• Avoid direct sunlight when airing, to protect the colours and fibres.

• Light creases often smooth out simply through wearing or careful airing.

Washing

• Wash only when needed.

• Hand wash in cold to lukewarm water (max. 30 °C).

• Use a mild delicates detergent or a special detergent for delicate textiles.

• Do not rub, brush or wring out the wrap.

• Move it gently in the water and then rinse thoroughly.

Drying

• After washing, press out carefully or roll in a towel to absorb excess moisture.

• Then leave to dry lying flat.

• Do not hang up, as the fabric can become distorted.

• Do not tumble dry.

• Avoid direct sunlight and strong sources of heat.

Ironing

• Iron at a low temperature if needed.

• Ideally iron on the reverse side or with a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric.

• Steam ironing only at a low temperature.

Storage

• Store only clean and completely dry.

• Keep in a dry, well-ventilated place.

• For longer storage, breathable fabric bags or cotton covers are suitable.

• Avoid direct sunlight during storage.

Tip

The more gently this wrap is cared for, the longer its soft hand, its supple structure and the brilliance of its colours are preserved. Regular airing is often the simplest and best form of care.

Before storage

• Always store the wrap clean and completely dry.

• Moisture, dirt or residues of cosmetics and perfume can impair the fibres in the long term.

• Before longer storage, cleaning in accordance with the care instructions is advisable.

Correct storage

• Fold the wrap loosely instead of hanging it up for long periods.

• This keeps its shape and avoids unnecessary strain on the fabric.

• Keep the wrap in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.

• Avoid direct sunlight to protect colours and fibres in the long term.

Protection during storage

• For longer storage, breathable cotton bags or fabric covers are suitable.

• These protect against dust while allowing natural air circulation.

• Avoid airtight plastic bags, as moisture can collect in them.

Long-term storage

• Heavy objects should not be stored on top of the wrap, to avoid permanent creases or pressure marks.

• The wrap should not hang permanently on a hanger, as the material can become distorted over time.

• Extreme fluctuations in temperature and proximity to radiators should be avoided.

Additional tip

• During longer storage, take the wrap out now and then and air it in a shady place.

• This keeps the fibres fresh, and the material retains its pleasant suppleness and its beautiful drape.

Tip

With the right storage, your wrap keeps its shape, the brilliance of its colours and its soft hand for many years. Dry, breathable storage protected from light is the best basis for a long life.
