What is Pashmina?
The word "Pashmina" is derived from "Pashm"—which is an old Parsian word meaning fine wool. The Pashmina yarn is the softest fiber found in nature and is culled from the neck and underbelly of the rare species of the "Changra" Himalayan goat or the Capra Hircus. A goat is capable of producing only 90 grams of Pashmina per year. The wool is spun and then hand woven with the silk, and finally fringed with twisted tassels.
Scarf of pashmina and silk is lightweight, super soft and comfortable. It is therefore suitable to be worn in all 4 seasons.
You can wear it in summer as a fashion accessory to warm up in winter as a scarf.
Composition: 90% pashm wool and 10% viscose.
Dimensions: approx 194 x 77 cm

Pashmina fiber is 12–16 microns thick—about one sixth the diameter of a strand of human hair. The Pashmina yarn is the thinnest yarn known to mankind. Pashmina is usually a 100/100 , 90/10 or a 70/30 blend of Pashmina Yarn and Silk Yarn respectively. It is a strong yet supple, lightweight, luxurious wrap for evening or day-time wear.
Pashmina is the best cashmere wool whose luxuriously natural fibre pleasures to wear, soft to touch and feel. It is the rarest, lightest and warmest of the commercial natural fibers. No other textile provides the softness, comfort and elegance of the Pashmina.
