Himalayan
Tibetan/Nepal Cashmere Goats:
Handmade/Hand loomed: The Nepal Himalayan Cashmere yarn comes from the Tibetan Plateau Goat that is indigenous to the high altitudes of the Himalayas in Nepal/Tibet/India.
Many people believe the Himalayan Cashmere from Nepal & Tibet is one of the best in quality because of the conditions to which the mountain goats have adapted over centuries. The high Himalayas of Nepal/Tibet have a harsh, cold climate so in order for these mountain goats to survive, they have developed an exceptionally warm and light fiber that may be slightly coarser and warmer than cashmere fibers obtained from lower region goats. There are significant differences in the quality of Cashmere. The longest and finest fiber is collected from the throat and/or the underbelly of the goat. These fibers command the highest prices. The lighter colored fibers are more expensive. You will find these items selling in the stores for 2 to 3 times our pricing.
True Cashmere is such a fine hair/fiber that it
cannot be machine woven. Nepal/Tibet Cashmere is all hand loomed. At times hand
loomed Shawls/Scarves/Throws are known to may have some minor flaws and if they
are missing these minor flaws then the weaver is excellent or it may have been
woven by a machine. Machine woven Cashmere [Pashmina] is most likely a blend of
Cashmere and Silk and is most likely made in China.

photos are an estimate of the actual colors and patterns but are more accurate
than this description...these colors are difficult to identify and describe -- we are presenting them
to assist you in the photo view, depending on the lighting and the quality of
your computer monitor. As the reviews mention, the colors are actually far more
vivid and deeper than the photos. The Photos are taken in multiple flash
settings to show the brightness of the colors as they are more muted in shadow.

Additional
Information: The descriptions we use for our merchandise are
based on our supplier’s representations to us. We do not manufacture our
own merchandise so we rely on what we are told by our suppliers; who in turn
relies on the weavers; who in turn relies on the yarn merchants, etc.
Unless a seller makes their own yarn and manufactures their own merchandise in
their shop, the seller is unaware of what materials are actually included in
the yarn used to weave the shawls or scarves. When a supplier advises us
that he knows or believes that the yarn is a mixed blend, e.g. Yak and
Cashmere, we note so in our descriptions. We are unable to determine the
actual % relationship of blended materials that maybe included in our merchandise
without a costly lab test, which would have to be added to the price of our
merchandise and make selling it prohibitive. We do not note
anywhere in our product descriptions that an item is “100%” or “Pure” unless we
have a strong assurance that it is possibly a true statement. If you
require any additional information about the material content of the items we
sell, please send us a message.
