Mypashmina dream factory


Welcome to beautiful rolling hills, tibetan monasteries, a valley view of farms & cows and children playing in the fields!

We found the perfect place for the factory and have got a 5 year extendable lease, hooray!

The house itself is a 4-storey traditional Nepali house with a big roof top terrace (for drying pashminas), is has big spacious room, clean, lots of bathrooms. And a lovely garden. And for the lunch break we have a nice lawn with swings, hammocks and a picknick table, as well as a place to play basket ball on. I also want a pet baby goat. (they are SOO cute!)

We will build three buildings on the land for the hand knitting machines, and the pashmina looms, and a semi-house for the dyeing. The water that comes out from the dyeing drainage will be filtered properly before it goes out. And it will be solar powered (well half until we convinced our nepalese partners to get more of them!) We will be back in februari and check the progress then it should be ready to move in, we will help with the layout, decorating and get lots and lots of plant pots. Quite different to what its usually like in factories in Nepal, maybe it will start a trend I hope? It doesnt have to tricky to make a nice workplace.
