Cashmere shawl is also called kashmiri shawl and cashmere shawls are
produced in Kashmir. Cashmere shawl, 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
shawl is known for its rich texture and design even
to the ancient civilization of the Babylonians and
Greeks.
Commonly used as boby wraps, there
shawls may be made from different types of wool and
com in variety of colors, weave, and embroidery work.
The most famous amongst these cashmere shawls are
the Shatoosh shawl and Pashmina shawl which are worn
on special occasions.
The word shawl itself is said to
be derived from the Persian "shal' which means
a class of woven fibric Shawls 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 shawls and their
imitations were in weight and the method of weaving.
Cashmere shawls were much lighter as they were made
of fine standards of hair as opposed to wool or silk
used by the Europeans.
Kashmir is famous all over the world
for the beautiful hand-embroidered cashmere shawls
that it produces. Basically a craft brought to India
by the Muslim invaders; cashmere shawl embroidery
is therefore strongly reflective of Persian motifs
and styling. These cashmere shawls are made predominantly
in the Srinagar area of Kashmir, and generally confined
to the men of the family, though nowadays, women are
also entering the trade of cashmere garments. These
exquisite creations of cashmere shawls are hand-embroidered
with hook (a knitting material) or a needle. The embroidery
of cashmere shawl is clipped with shears to smoothness,
and then treated with several brightening and protective
chemical washes. The motifs are generally either floral
or animals and birds. Cashmere shawl have a worldwide
appeal for their classic embroidery styles. These
cashmere shawl are so beautiful that they are largely

USEFUL TIPS REGARDING
CASHMERE SHAWL
Cashmere shawl that are knitted can
be hand washed using a natural, mild soap. Hand washing
is better for a knitted cashmere shawl in the long
run as chemicals used in dry cleaning are can be hard
on cashmere shawl. cashmere shawl should always be
dry cleaned as they could lose their body.Be sure
to dissolve all cleaner thoroughly and then put the
cashmere shawl into the water. After washing cashmere
shawl, be sure to rinse until the water is clear.
Then lay the cashmere shawl out flat away from heat
and sun. Reshape side seams and sleeves if necessary,
as some cashmere shawl will twist during washing.
When dry, press with a damp cloth and cool iron. Cashmere
shawl should be washed after approximately 6-7 wearings
to keep them looking their best. It is best to store
cashmere shawl in either a cedar chest or plastic
bags to keep clean and moth free. I personally hang
moth cakes in my closets and cedar chest for extra
protection and replace them monthly. Moths may also
go after any food particles that may be on the cashmere
shawl, so it is very important to keep your cashmere
shawl clean. Pilling, ( the little balls that get
on the cashmere shawl ) is a natural occurence on
cashmere and wool. Not all cashmere shawl will pill,
and some will pill more than others, being all natural
fibers have their own chemistry that will differ from
yarn to yarn. However, a quality cashmere shawl should
not pill excessively. The pilling is usually caused
by a friction of some sort;`such as a seat belt, purse
strap, golf strap, or even synthetic linings of jackets.
When pilling occurs, pull or carefully cut the pills
off, breaking the connection. Then wash the cashmere
shawl according to the above instructions. Here is
the few more tips for taking care of cashmere shawl.
1. Always allow your antiperspirant or deodorant
to completely dry before slipping into your cashmere
shawl.
2. Never spritz yourself with perfume or cologne
while wearing the cashmere shawl because it stains.
Always spray or dab your perfume directly onto skin
before dressing.
3. Before or after wearing, air fluff your cashmere
shawl r to freshen and remove impurities.
4. For added luxury and a heavenly scent, wrap a
bar of your favorite French milled soap in a handkerchief
and tuck it under your cashmere shawl.
