About the threadwork: the embroidery is Kashmiri Aari, a chain stitch that sits slightly raised on the cloth, which gives it a texture a print never has. Small variations in thread placement between pieces are normal.
About Kashmilon: Kashmilon (also spelt Cashmilon) is a soft acrylic weave. It is not wool, cashmere or pashmina, and we label it as acrylic. It is light, holds embroidery cleanly and can be washed gently at home.

Care
- Gentle cold hand wash with mild detergent, or dry clean.
- Do not wring, and do not brush the embroidered areas. The sleeves carry the most work, so handle them gently.
- Dry in shade, inside out.
- Iron on the reverse at low heat, keeping the iron off the embroidery.
- Wash separately for the first few washes; a deep colour can release some dye early.
