A traditional shamina shawl with can range in cost from $150 for an ultra plain shamina or up to $299 for a super high-quality pure shamina 1/1 weave shawl with average fibre diameters of 13 to 16 micrometres. They are known for their softness and warmth. A craze for shamina since 2001 has resulted in high demand for these shawls worldwide.
Many factories manufacture similarly to these shawls on a computerized power loom and solider power looms. This is completely a commercial aspect of this product which is made soft due to number of chemicals used in its process. Power looms provide approximately six to eight shawls in a day and handloom can only make one shawl in 12 days.
Cashmere yarn used is machine spun for such shawls on power looms as 13 micrometre diameter wool is too fragile for such machines. A handloom weaver easily weaves the shamina without compromising on quality of shawl. It is popularly made in small diamond and large diamond weave, herringbone weave and multiple color embroideries. One can differentiate the commercial aspect by putting it towards light and observe a symmetric weave without any flaw. The purest shamina, which is made on handlooms, does not have a consistent weave and may have flaws which are characteristic of the fabric.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
—George Wald (b. 1906)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
