The proliferation of machine-made Pashmina products has proved to be a big threat for artisans, whose livelihoods depend entirely on Pashmina making. Be it spinners, weavers, embroiderers, dyers, or even sellers of embroidery threads, machine-made Pashmina shawl making has walked heavily on their livelihoods.
