Introduction of Pashmina/Cashmere

Welcome to Nepal, the world of Pashmina, Nepal is better known as the country where it lies the highest peak on the Earth. It is also known as a Himalayan country, rightly for its geography, 1/3 of which is covered by Himalayan Ranges. And Pashmina is a luxury, fine cashmere gathered from the undercoat of the Himalayan mountain goat that roams freely in the Himalayas.  

For centuries, the Royalties and the wealthiest women in Nepal and other neighboring countries have relied on the fine Pashmina products to adorn their shoulders. These Pashmina have been handed down from generation to generation as a treasure to be handled with care and flaunted at ease. Stylish women all over the world have used Pashmina as the icing on the cake of their designer wears.  

Himalayan Mountain goat, Carpa Hircus, sheds its winter coat every spring. One goat sheds approximately 3-8 ounces of the fiber. Since it can be collected only once a year and that too in such small amounts, Pashmina is not only a luxury item it is equally rare.

Quality of Cashmere/Pashmina :

Generally, 28nm is the very popular yarns that we use for shawl. Similarly, we use 42nm, 54nm, 60nm, 80nm, 100nm as well. The purity of cashmere is upto 98% and the fiber length is 32-36nm and the fiber micron with 14.5-15.5 micron. The short fiber makes the garment soft for some time, but later on it pills very fast. The longer the hair used, it is better for the garments. Most of the time, our customer do the lab test to their concern lab and they are happy with the result.

Pashmina Vs Cashmere & Confusion & Illusion :

Actually, all our buyers are in confusion with the terms of  Pashmina. The pashmina word and the pashmina were very popular since 1997 and it became very hot cake and specially more popular when it was used by queen Elizabeth in the United Kingdom. Nowadays, every quality or any material is used to mention as Pashmina due to the absence of legal definition of Pashmina. Still the word Pashmina is not defined as Cashmere. Cashmere is wellknown since centuries and it is still popular and it has specific definition and we have to be careful when we use the word. Most of the people have illusion with the word of pashmina.. We should dare to define the Pashmina as Cashmere. The legal definition of Pashmina can help to promote the Pashmina business in a proper way. Anyway,  it was more famous with the word Pashmina in Japan but the American people ignored it. American and European people prefer to say it Cashmere rather than Pashmina due to the lacking of definition of Pashmina.
