Pashmina is the finest cashmere wool combed from the underbelly of Capra Hircus goat from the Himalayan regions of Tibet, Mongolia, Kashmir and Central Asia at elevations of 14,500 feet and above, where temperatures rarely rise above minus 30 degrees centigrade in winter.Pashmina is the goat's soft underbelly down, which lies under the coarse outer hair. The diameter of the fiber is about five times smaller than a human hair. Each goat produces about 3 ounces of wool each year. To produce one shawl requires the wool from 3 goats, the goats are not harmed in the process, as it is collected after being shed naturally. This is unlike the process of producing shahtoosh, in which the Tibetan Chiru antelopes are killed. We do not deal with such products.
Our Pashmina products.
All our Pashminas are individually hand loomed by Nepalise craftspeople. Beware of traders selling machine loomed pashminas as the far superior hand loomed variety. Every winter the wool is sheared from the mountain goats and washed and graded. The wool is spun into yarn. Silk yarn and Pashmina yarn are hand-woven in wooden frames, the ends are cut and ready to be dyed individually by hand. After dyeing, fringes are knotted and cleaned for final packaging. There is absolutely no child labor used in our products.
