Pashmina is frequently blended with silk to give it sheen and drape, or with wool, to provide a more suitable base for embroidery.

The iconic 70% pashmina/30% silk blend, which we call the Ama Dablam, combines the warmth of cashmere wool and the durability of silk; these are qualities that made the Nepalese pashmina shawl an international favorite. Due to the silk, which is much denser than pashmina, the blended shawls have an elegant drape and can support beading and embroidery. They also have a definite sheen, and are not as likely to snag on lobster-rough hands. Then again, the Ama Dablam is nowhere near as soft and plush as the 100% shawls (Sagarmatha, Tamserku, or Pumori), and for their weight they are not as warm as the pure pashmina shawl.

Ama Dablam shawls are available in two standard sizes:

Most of our Ama Dablams are finished with fringes, theoretically 3 inches (7.5 cm) but a few have natural (ragged or eyelash) finish. Actual fringe length tends to vary a bit.

Review posted by LTW on TrustPilot:

First order was EXCELLENT I placed my first order with Sunrise Pashmina a couple of weeks ago. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the shawls and the customer service. I got good advice from Seth about which color to order (who knew that there are so many shades of white?). The shawls arrived promptly. More importantly, they are super soft and beautifully made. I'll definitely order again from Sunrise Pashmina.

Ama Dablam peak in Nepal

Ama Dablam (6,812 meters/ 22,349 ft) is shown here looming above the chorten recently raised near Namche Bazar in memory of Tenzing Norgay, who, along with Ed Hillary, ascended Mount Everest for the first time on May 31, 1953. We chose to name our 70/30 blend shawl after Ama Dablam because it is not only one of the most recognized peaks in the world, it also has a pronounced resemblance to the head and shoulders of a woman wearing a shawl. Literally, the name means Mother-Pendant. A dablam is a small silver box containing religious images or texts, worn as a pendant by Tibetan and Sherpa women. A hanging glacier on the southern aspect of the central peak resembles a dablam.

The Sherpas and friends gathered here are observing the dedication of the new monument.
