Pashmina Cashmere Scarves
Pashmina is the traditional name for the very finest grade of Cashmere
wool. Because of its unique softness and comforting warmth, Pashmina is also
known as the diamond fabric and the
soft gold of high Asia. Put simply, it
is the finest, softest and warmest wool available anywhere.
This amazing cashmere comes exclusively from the underbelly of the Capra Hircus
goat, in the most remote regions of the Himalayas. Because they live
approximately 14,000 feet above sea level, these special goats grow a thin,
inner coat of hair that insulates them during the long, harsh Himalayan winters.
It is this unique inner coat of hair that is used to produce Pashmina. Each hair
is about 1/6th the diameter of most other types of hair - but is still
surprisingly durable while being stunningly soft
and comforting to human skin.
