Pashmina is a very soft and light fibre obtained from the undercoat of a subspecies of Capra Hircus goat known as Changthangi. It is usually hand-woven into shawls, scarves, wraps, throws, capes and other winter wear accessories. 
Pashmina shawls are made of pashmina wool. Pure pashmina shawls are considered one of the best quality in the market but also costly. Around the world, the word “pashmina“ is used as the type of scarf; in fact, pashmina is called wool itself, with a fibre thickness of 12-16 microns.

So, when we talk about a pashmina shawl or a pashmina wrap, we are referring to a shawl made with the yarn obtained from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat.

Pashminas come in colours like white, orange, brown, black, etc. They can be easily dyed into any colour as per the latest fashion trends. You will often find pashminas with beautiful embroidery work, making them even more special.
