Lifestyle Desk: Shawl plays a big role in fashion. A saree or salwar, along with a bahari shawl changes the fashion. Men are not behind in using shawls. And many like Kashmiri shawls. But if you spend a lot of money and buy a fake shawl, you will be upset. So you can follow some simple methods to recognize the original shawl in the crowd of fakes.

Kashmiri Shawl

Catch a thread from the edge of the burnt shawl on fire. You will know that this shawl is genuine only when the smell of hair comes out after it burns. Because cashmere is a completely natural fiber, it will give you such a burnt smell. The burnt part will have no district.

Test without burning
Whether the shawl is pure or not, it cannot be tested by burning it. For this, the shawl should be held slightly towards the sun. If not, artificial light should also be thrown on this shawl. If the light falls on the shawl, it will shine a little bit. But if you take a closer look, you will understand that this shawl may be fake. That means some fake fabric has been added to it.

How to tell by looking at the fur
Many people are more or less worried when the fur comes out of the winter clothes. I think, it can reduce the beauty of that extraordinary shawl. Apart from this, hair also grows from sweaters or other woolen items. Similarly, cashmere shawls can also cause hair growth. And this matter is quite normal. If you see the hair coming out of the shawl, then you will understand that the shawl is genuine and the quality is good. This is because natural fibers are prone to pilling.

Whether it is comfortable or not,
if there is an itch when wearing a cashmere shawl, or if there is any problem later, then it should be understood that silk or other yarns have been mixed with this shawl. Because, real cashmere fiber is so soft that wearing it will never cause any itchiness or rash.
