Pashmina is considered the finest craftsmanship in the world which transforms the exceptionally warm and delicate Cashmere threads to opulent accessories. The fleece of Changthangi Goat is known as Pashm which is an Urdu word. This goat is exotic and is only found, 15000 feet above sea level in Ladakh – Jammu and Kashmir, making the art of Pashmina even rarer and revered all over the world. Pashmina has fascinated kings, royals, and people all over the world by its magical allure and a traditional grace. The quantity of finest quality Pashmina fiber obtained is roughly about 35% of the actual wool by weight. Thus, if a goat gives 100 grams of Pashm wool, then only 35 grams from it can be used for spinning of the fine quality yarn. The shorter fiber quantifies to about 50% be weight of the actual wool. These shorter second quality fibers are used to spin slightly coarser yarns. These are then dyed & are used for making the patterns on the shawls.
