Cashmere or Pashmina
Information:
Cashmere also known as the fine pashmina wool, is the most softest
, luxurious and the warmest wool in the world.
It comes from the hair of underbelly of mountain goat Capra Hircus, locally
called "Chyangra". Mountain goat is a special breed of goat indigenous
to high altitudes ( 12000 ft. to 14000 ft.) of the Himalayan region where
temperature goes down up to-40 degree centigrade. The thermocoductivity of this
type wool is the best in the world as it keeps mountain goat survive at -40
degree centigrade. Pashmina fiber is less than 14-19 microns in thickness
making it very soft whereas human hair is approx. 75 microns thick. Pashmina is
used to make luxurious products like shawls, sweaters, scarves, wraps and
stoles etc. These products are hand spun, woven and embroidered by traditional
weavers and artisans whose families have been in this occupation since ages.
Pashmina products have been manufactured in Nepal and Kashmir for
thousands of years. Pashmina and
Cashmere both are derived from mountain goats but one distinct difference
between them is the fiber diameter. Pashmina fibers are finer and thinner than
cashmere fiber, therefore, it is ideal for making light weight apparel like
fine scarves.
Pashmina from Nepal have been considered as the best in quality
because of the conditions to which the mountain goats have adapted over
centuries. The high Himalayas of Nepal has a harsh, cold climate and in order
to survive, the mountain goats have developed exceptionally warm and light
fiber which may be slightly coarser and warmer than cashmere fibers obtained
from lower region goats.
Washing instruction:
One
of the wonderful feature of Pashmina products is we can keep them lasting for
years and years if we take proper care of them. It will even get softer and
more luxurious with each wash!
Generally, dry cleaning is the preferred method of washing for Pashmina and
cashmere products. However, you can hand wash occasionally if you are careful
and follow a few guidelines that are listed below. We do suggest washing it
before first use to make sure the natural vegetable dyes do not bleed.
1 WASHING: To Wash by hand, soak it
in soapy Luke- warm water for a little while, and then wash very gently rubbing
soiled areas. Then rinse it two or three times thoroughly until there's no more
soap left. Do not wring the Pashmina product as the fabric is sensitive to pressure,
and rough handling.
2. DRYING: To Dry, lay it flat on a
drying rack, but make sure it's evenly spreaded across the rack, rather than
simply hung, because hanging while wet stretches the fabric.; Another option if
you don't have a rack is just to get a dry towel and let dry on the towel.
3. IRONING: Now, your Pashmina is clean! But you'll probably notice a great
deal of unsightly wrinkles populating on your Pashmina surface. This is
perfectly normal. It is best to put Pashmina between two towels on medium heat
and iron those wrinkles away!
4. STORAGE For safe keeping, make sure you store your Pashmina in a way that
doesn't bunch it up. Fold it neatly and either place it on a hanger of keep it
on a shelf.
