Pashmina scarf is an indigenous and unique product of Nepal.
Pashmina is hand-woven from the wool sheared off from mountain
goat called “Chyangra” (Capra Hircus Goat) that
are found in the mountainous of the high Himalayan regions
of Nepal. The wool next to the skin is cut out. This wool
is carded to separate the rough outer part. The soft wool
is then hand spun into thin and even pashmina yarn. This yarn
is then hand woven into the loom, which has cotton, silk and
pashmina warp. While making these pashmina products the use
of hand spun pashmina wool yarn has presently been replaced
by imported fine machine spun yarn. Pashmina scarf is mainly
