Pashmina
wool, also known as cashmere wool world over is the softest, most luxurious
and the best wool in the world.
It comes from Himalayan region from a special Himalayan goat (Capra hircus)
which lives at the altitude of 12000 to 14000 ft. where temperature goes
down up to-10 degree centigrade. The goat is blessed by nature with a unique
very thin short inner coat of hair which is the best insulation in the world
and this inner coat of hair is PASHMINA. The Himalayan goat is survived
because of this nature gifted hair. Pashmina fibre is less than 15 microns
in thickness (whereas human hair is 75 microns thick) one Himalayan goat
produces 3 to 8 ounces of Pashmina per year.
Origin of Pashmina dates back to ancient civilization and has been traced
back to the times of Mahabharat. Earlier in olden days Pashmina shawls found
favour with EMPERORS, KINGS, PRINCES, RULERS and NOBLES. This precious
fabric was known as FIBRE FOR KINGS.

Now this royal luxury is being offered in wide variety of shawls, stoles
and sweaters. These luxuries pashmina shawls are hand woven by traditional
weavers whose families have been in the occupation since ages and they
inherit this art from their ancestors, and tradition of this art continues
from one generation to another generation.
