Pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it and was first invented in India. The name comes from Pashmineh (پشمینه), made from Indian pashm ("wool").The wool comes from changthangi or Pashmina sheep, which is a special breed of sheep indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas in Nepal, Pakistan and Northern India. The fibre is also known as pashm or pashmina for its use in the handmade shawls of Himalayas.

The test for a quality pashmina is warmth and feel. Pashmina and Cashmere are derived from mountain goats. One distinct difference between Pashmina and Cashmere is the fibre diameter. Pashmina fibres are finer and thinner than cashmere fibre, therefore, it is ideal for making light weight apparel like fine scarves. Today, however, the word PASHMINA has been used too liberally and many scarves made from natural or synthetic fiber are sold as Pashmina creating confusion in the market. This stole is a true Pashmina. 

The fibres are only 14-19 microns in diameter, it cannot be spun by machines, so the wool is hand-woven to create this beautiful shawl.

This Pashmina is a one off item. One side is tartan print and the other side has a flower design. You can wear the pashmina presenting either side. This item is one continuous weave, there are no breaks or pieces sew together. The photos of the edge of the pashmina show the ending of the threads.
