Pashmina today has become the name of the very best cashmere in
the world. The value of Pashmina lies in the fact that it is the
best and the finest cashmere in the world. It is the warmest,
softest and lightest of the cashmeres. Pashmina can only come
from goats raised in the Himalayan Mountain region. The
Himalayan goats produce such exquisite wool because of the
elevation at which they live. The Capra Hircus goat, which is
the source of Pashmina, lives at elevation of 14,500 feet (4,500
meters) and above, where temperature rarely rise above minus 30
degree Fahrenheit in winter. Pashmina is the goat’s soft
underbelly down is shed each spring and Pashmina fibers are
collected either from the rocks and bushes or is brushed from
the underbelly. No harm comes to the goats in the collection of
the Pashmina wool.
The fibers are then sorted,
cleaned and spun into Pashmina yarn. It is then woved by weavers
and individually dyed and dried. Practically any color
imaginable can be achieved. For a thousand years or more, this
glorious wool has been cherished for its warmth, lightness and
durability. For weightlessness and warmness, Pashmina wool is
unsurpassed. Pashmina is designed in such a way that offers
warmth with lightness and it is comfortable to wear in all
seasons with delights.
Today most of the world’s
Pashmina shawl, stoles and scarves are woven on handlooms in the
Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Most are woven with warp of spun silk
for increased suppleness and strength. Only within the past few
years this methods has been introduced to other parts of the
world. The ultimate indulgence is a 100% pure Pashmina garment.
But the most popular form of Pashmina is called PASHMINA SILK.
It is a blend of approximately 70% Pashmina and 30% silk.
Fashionable customers prefer this blend because silk adds
strength and shine to the garment. We also fabricate embroidered
Pashmina shawls, pattern print shawls and jakard shawls (shawls
with design) as well.
