Fashion words, pashmina


A scarf or shawl made from precious cashmere obtained from the fleece of the 'Chyangra' goat of the mountainous uplands of Himalaya and Tibet. Silk threads are used for the warp to create an unmistakable shine. The animal is sheared twice a year, the female produces 50/100 gr. and the male 100/150 gr. A prized wool available in three natural shades: white, greyish white and grey.
