Pashmina
Pashmina is the traditional Himalayan name for cashmere wool, which is collected in the high plateau regions of Ladakh, Nepal and the central plains of Inner Mongolia.
Cashmere is the wool of the Capra Hircus goat, which is found at elevations of 14,000 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. Each goat produces only about 3 ounces or 90 grams of cashmere wool each year. One woven Pashmina shawl requires the wool from three goats.
Cashmere wool is available in several grades, including "Grade A", "Grade B" and so on. We offer only the highest quality pashminas made with "Grade A" cashmere. The best grade of cashmere is 14-15.5 microns in diameter and all the products that we offer are made with this very fine grade of cashmere.
