About
Pashmina, from the Persian word for wool, is popularly known in the west as cashmere wool, named after the Kashmir region where it originates. The fine wool comes from the undercoat of Himalayan mountain goat, which are raised by semi-nomadic herders in the Tibetan Plateau. Pashmina has been woven into shawls and blankets, prized by royalty and common people alike for its softness, warmth, and long life since the 15th century. A true Renaissance garment and Silk Road favorite! The fiber is exceptionally absorbent, and it dyes very easily and deeply. The patterns and colors are vibrant and ornate and vary greatly, often woven with silk and cotton natural fibers and sometimes lurex for added sparkle.
