The Pashmina Story
Pashmina from the Persian word for wool is popularly known in the west as cashmere wool from the old spelling for kashmir. The fine wool comes from the undercoat of Himalayan mountain goat raised by semi-nomadic herders. A single goat yields 3-8 ounces of fiber per year. The Tibetan plateau provides the ideal environment for pashmina growth. The fiber is exceptionally absorbent and it dyes very easily and deeply. In recent years pashmina shawl has been in fashion all over the world for its luxurious rarity its incomparable softness warmth and durability.
Care For Your Pashmina
Pashmina gets softer with frequent use. Cleaning pashmina is easy. Although pashminas can be dry-cleaned the chemicals used in the long run affect it (like all fine wool). We thus recommend washing in cold or warm water using mild natural soap or shampoo. Rinse until water runs clean and then drip dry only away from direct sunlight. Do not wring or twist. If it needs pressing iron over a damp cloth.
