produced in Kashmir. Cashmere scarf, the very word
evokes images of luxury, warmth and softness. The
ultra-fine fiber from the undercoat of the Cashmere
(or Kashmir) goat, is indeed a premium fiber - one
that generally costs a good deal more than mere sheep's
wool. cashmere scarf is known for its rich texture

The word scarf itself is said to
be derived from the Persian "shal' which means
a class of woven fibric scarves from Kashmir were
very popural in Europe in the 18th and 19 th centuries
particularly those with paisley patterns. The main
differences between the cashmere scarves and their
imitations were in weight and the method of weaving.
cashmere scarves were much lighter as they were made
of fine standards of hair as opposed to wool or silk
used by the Europeans.
