Pashmina
(better known as cashmere) is the diamond fibre from the peak of Himalayas.
The pashmina fibre is derived from cashmere goat locally known as Chyangra
and scientifically known as Capra Hircus, which is native to the Himalayan
belt around and above 14000 feet above sea level. These fibres especially
located under the neck, armpits and the belly area of the goats. These
fine hair lies beneath the outer thicker wool of the goats. It is an extremely
complicated technique to extricate pashmina from the beds of these outer
thicker fibres as these fibres are deeply embedded. Pashmina emerges only
after the fibres are cleaned up to cent percent purity before hand spinning.
The specialty of pashmina is that it grows more softer with use and is
one of its kind that cannot match with any yarn existing in the world.
Besides the softness, it has an exotically silky texture, weightless,
lightness but possess superwarmth. Wearing it next to the skin provides
a uniquely titillating experience which is described as sensual sublimity.
