Pashmina is the Cashmere
wool of the highest grade. Pashmina is the name given
to the wool shorn from the underbelly of goats indigenous
to remote and frigid Himalayan regions of Tibet and
Central Asia at a height of 12,000 to 14,000 feet
or more, a desolate place with little vegetation and
extremely cold conditions. Hence, Nature blessed these
animals with a very short inner coat of hair, which
has been found tos be the best natural insulation
in the world. The inner coat of hair is called pashmina.
In fact, the "Pashm", which is Persian word,
means "wool", refers to the underfur of
certain Tibetan animals, particularly goats. A human
hair is about 75 microns thick. Pashmina fibers imported
from Mongolia and Tibet are 12 - 14 microns thick.

The colors of pashmina that are particularly fashionable
this season are shades of purple; from pale lilac
to a deep violet shade of prune. Pashmina trends this
year are slightly ethnic embrodiery and pleats. Due
to the timeless and seasonless versatility of the
pashmina, many women opt for a classic color that
can be worn season after season, perennial favorites
include pink-pale shades through to bright fuchsia-butter
yellow, white and, of course, jet black. It takes
the wool from four and over 200 man-hours (spinning,

is reflected in the price.
