Unfazed by the scientific age, pashmina shawls are hand spun the same way it has been done for centuries. The hairs are gathered from the Himalayan goat called Hircus, which lives at high altitudes, 12 to 14000 feet in the mountains. The Pashmina is gathered by hand, stored and combed by nomadic herders. The threads are hand woven on handlooms over a silk wrap, which gives the fabric resilience. Once the fabric is loomed, each piece is hand dyed in open vats. Afterwards it is given to the different craftsmen for hand-embroidery, beading and /or printing. They are very soft and luxurious in feel. These shawls are woven from the best quality of Cashmere Pashmina and Silk. These shawls can be worn as a wrap or a scarf. The size is 78 inches long and 28 inches wide and each shawl is finished with 2 or 2.5 inches long tassels. The fabric comprises of approximately 70% Cashmere Pashmina and 30% Silk. The combination of Cashmere and Silk makes the fabric versatile and resonating with color. The shawls are hand loomed in Nepal and India and are offered in a wide selection of vibrant colors. We recommend dry cleaning.

Excerpt: Alpaca (Vicugna pacos ) is a domesticated species of South American camelid . It resembles a small llama in appearance.Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of southern Peru , northern Bolivia , Ecuador , and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,500 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea-level, throughout the year. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas , and unlike llamas, alpacas were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, much as wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States. In the textile industry, "alpaca" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpacas, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair , Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality English wool. In trade, distinctions are made between alpacas and the several styles of mohair and luster.Background Ceramic alpaca, Moche culture (Larco Museum , Lima)Alpacas have been domesticated for thousands of years. The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images...

Excerpt: Cashmere wool , usually simply known as cashmere , is a fiber obtained from Cashmere and other goats. The word cashmere derives from an old spelling of Kashmir .Cashmere wool is fine in texture, and it is also strong, light, and soft. When it is made into garments, they are extremely warm to wear.Characteristics Cashmere is characterized by its soft fibers. It is noted as providing a natural light-weight insulation without bulk. Fibers are highly adaptable and are easily spun into fine or thick yarns , and light to heavy-weight fabrics .

Source of the fiber Pashmina goats , Ladakh Cashmere wool fiber for clothing and other textile articles is obtained from the Cashmere and other goats. The goat is a mammal belonging to the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae ; historically fine-haired Cashmere goats have been given the name "Capra hircus laniger " as if a subspecies of the domestic goat Capra hircus . However they are now more commonly regarded as part of the domestic goat subspecies Capra aegagrus hircus . Cashmere goats produce a double fleece consisting of the fine, soft undercoat or underdown of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called guard hair . In order for the fine under down to be sold and processed further, it must first be de-haired. De...
