Have a pashmina shawl it’s really luxurious, the latest fashion
Author: smithkenrose Pashmina is a fabric which became famous in the West since many years. It is used mainly in scarves and shawls as it is very warm and soft. The word is the derivative of the word pashm, a Persian word, which means the undercoat of fur on most of the animals; in this case, it is the goat.
Pashmina is generally made with wool which is taken from the underbelly of the Himalayan goat. Though many people feel it rough and coarse yet, scarves and shawls of pure pashmina are available. Manufacturers who make use of 100% pashmina will use a softening process. By this process it will get softened and almost a silken quality. Due to its softness the processed pashmina garments are termed as cashmere. But, pashmina is somewhat different — and it comes from Tibet, not Kashmir.
