The ring test is in the photos above: a genuine Palladar passes whole through a finger ring, and this is one of ours.
A fine Kashmiri pashmina ring shawl (Palladar) in a warm sand, self-patterned across the whole field with a large floral medallion woven in the same colour, and finished at each end with a deep panel of interlocking paisleys in rose, saffron, slate blue, coral and cream on a pale ground, closed by a row of broad coloured stripes.
Ring test note: This is the same ultra-fine pashmina as our plain ring shawls, and it does pass through a ring — but draw it through slowly and with care. Being ek rukh (patterned on one face), it has loose threads across the back of the end panels where each colour turns, and those can catch if the shawl is pulled quickly. We would rather tell you that than let you find out.
The name comes from the test. A Palladar is a shawl fine enough to be drawn whole through a finger ring — the traditional proof of fine Kashmiri pashmina. Yarn this fine breaks if the loom is pushed, so the weaving is slow and careful.
Ek Rukh — woven on one face
Kashmiri weavers distinguish between do-rukha, worked so the pattern reads on both faces of the cloth, and ek rukh — one face. Working one face keeps a Palladar light enough to pass the ring while still carrying a full colour design; the loose threads on the reverse are the visible record of that weave, not a fault.
Sand is the most useful ground we sell. Every colour in the border — rose, saffron, blue — sits on it without argument, and the shawl works over black, cream, navy and every shade of brown, which a strong colour does not. If you want one piece that carries a full Kashmiri border and still goes with everything, this is it.
Details
Handwoven cloth varies very slightly along its length; any faint unevenness you can see against the light is the mark of the handloom, not a fault.
Ships in Attan's branded box with a thank-you card, ready to gift.
Size: approximately 40″ × 80″ (100 × 200 cm). One size, unstitched, with the natural fringe left as the loom made it.
Long enough to wrap twice, drape over one shoulder, or wear open over a formal outfit. Every piece is finished by hand, so measurements can vary by an inch or so.
Fine Kashmiri pashmina. Handwoven in Kashmir, and fine enough that the finished shawl passes whole through a finger ring. Nothing is printed; every pattern is woven in.
Ek Rukh (single-sided) pieces carry their pattern on one face, with the pattern threads lying loose on the back. They are the same material as our plain ring shawls but should be passed through a ring slowly and with care so the back threads are not pulled.
Dry clean only. Between wears, air the shawl flat in shade for an hour; never hang it by one corner. Store folded in the box it came in, or in a cotton bag with a cedar block. Do not iron directly; if it creases, steam it through a cotton cloth. Put perfume on before the shawl, never onto it.
