Pashmina Introduction
Pashmina is derived from the finest wool of high mountain
Capra Hircus goats. The wool is collected from the goats, once a
year, without being harmed the goats in the process of shedding the
wool. "Pasham"- the finest wool known as Pashmina, lies at
the bottom of course wool, comes about 5% of total wool shed from
the live goats. It is the softest wool found in the living being of
high snowy Himalayas. The main properties of Pashmina are it’s
exotically super warmth, shine and silky texture.
There is a difference between Cashmere wool and Pashmina, as
the former has normally 16-18 microns thick, whereas the thickness
of Pashmina hair is only 12-14 microns. This makes a lot of
difference in softness and warmthness.
Process of making Pashmina
The process of making Pashmina garments (products) involves a lot of
hard work. The wool produced is carded by hand and spun into very
fine yarn by traditional methods using a hand-spinner. Thereafter,
it is hand-woven in traditional pit looms. It takes our craftsmen
about nine to ten days (spinning to finish) to weave and finish a
single shawl ready for the Show room.
At present we manufacture the shawls up to 50 inches (125
cm.) width for more than 600 wide ranges of shades. Our end product
can be embroidered, silk fringed or in plain design. The sizes and
colors can be custom-made, provided they are in feasible quantities.
Generally, Pashmina is woven on a wrap of silk that adds strength and shine. Silk and Pashmina can be combined in any proportion, however, 80% Pashmina and 20% silk are regarded the ideal combination for strength and shine. 100% Pashmina items are also preferred by many
