What is "Pashmina" ?
Pashmina is a very fine quality of wool used for making our product which is generally popular as Cashmere Wool/ Cashmere Pashmina. It is the wool of the highest grade. Pashmina is the name given to the wool of the highest grade. Pashmina is the name given to the wool shorn from the underbelly of goats known as Chyangra in Nepal is indigenous to remote and frigid Himalayan regions of Tibet and Central Asia at a height of 12,000 to 14,000 feet or more, a desolate place with little vegetation and extremely cold conditions. Hence, Nature blessed these animals with a very short inner coat of hair, which has been found to be the best natural insulation in the world. The inner coat of hair is called Pashmina. In fact, the “Pashm”, which is Persian word, means “wool”, refers to the underfur of certain Tibetan animals, particularly goats.

Finest of Wools is Pashmina !!!
Pashmina fibre is 12-14 microns thick. A human hair is about 75 microns thick. Our Pashmina fibres imported from Cashmere region of India and Pakistan, Mongolia and Tibet.

How is Pashmina blended with silk to make a Pashmina Products of different sizes?
Silk yarn (Name of Silk Yarn: Spun Silk Yarn) is woven with Pashmina wool such that the material in warp (length-wise) is silk yarn and the material in weft (breath-wise) is Pashmina. The most common blend contains 70% Pashmina and 30% silk by weight. Along with the 70/30 blend, Our Company also produces 50/50 blend and 100% pure Pashmina shawls. 100% Pashmina is warmer than the lower quality blends but its texture is less silky. Pashmina is combined with Silk to create a yarn with “durability and luster” and heavenly feel. So, 70/30 is the most popular mix generally preferred world wide.
