Pashmina, also called cashmere, originates from the Persian word “pashm,” signifying a superior wool fiber—the luxurious “soft gold” among fibers. This is the world’s finest cashmere wool. Originating from the outer coat of the Himalayan goat (Chyangra, or Capra Hircus) at elevations exceeding 14,000 feet, pashmina is renowned for its exceptional quality. Nepal, Tibet, Kashmir, and Inner Mongolia’s central plains are home to Himalayan goats, which inhabit their high plateau regions.

They are exactly the same. Pashmina is the Indian/Persian word for cashmere. Cashmere, named after the Kashmir region of India, and pashmina, the original name for the fiber in Nepal, both refer to the same material.

Spinning:

Spinning converts continuous and twisted strand fiber into the required yarn count. Traditionally spinning is carried out spinning wheel called Charkha. Charkha changes the big fiber cone into a small cone that fits in handlooms.

Weaving:

Weaving is a process where we can give Pashmina fiber its shape, size, and fabric design. This is the most time-consuming and painstaking the entire whole Pashmina-making process. The workers need to move their whole bodies during this process.

Dyeing: 

When Pashmina gets its shape. It will be taken for dying where it gets its color and beauty. In this process, Pashmina is deep into hot water mixed with color and moved by a stick or rod and it will be taken out after only it gets into color what it needs to be.

Mending:

After Pashmina gets its color and dries on sunlight it will take to the next process called Mending. It is a quality control department where worker checks errors and fix them as well making hand-twisted fringe.

Ironing:

The mending process makes Pashmina almost ready but ironing is preparation for packaging with suitable heat and as well the final error to detect while ironing. Pashmina is ironed and removes all wrinkles.

Packaging: 

It last process of Pashmina making where ironed Pashmina is packed into bags.

We offer only the highest quality cashmere products. All our products are hand-woven in Nepal using very fine grade A cashmere yarn with a diameter of 15-16.5 microns. Consequently, it cannot be spun by machines, and the downy wool is hand-woven.

You can purchase Pashmina products, ranging from mufflers to king-size blankets, made from 100% pure cashmere using different counts and plies for various products.

Cashmere comes in various grades, including A, B, and C. We proudly offer only the finest Pashmina products crafted from Grade A Cashmere yarn. Grade A Cashmere, with a fiber diameter of 15-16.5 microns, is the highest quality, and all our Pashmina and Cashmere items are made exclusively from this ultra-fine yarn.

B Grade Cashmere has a thicker fiber diameter of 19 microns. While still luxurious, it is less soft and fine compared to Grade A, and its price reflects this difference.

C Grade Cashmere is the lowest quality, with fibers about 30 microns thick, roughly double the thickness of Grade A. Products made from Grade C feel much less soft and warm, and they are significantly more affordable.

We encourage our valued customers to compare our superior quality with other online retailers to experience the difference.

26/2 refers to the fineness (count) of the Cashmere yarn and the ply.

The count indicates that 26 meters of single yarn weigh 1 gram. For example, 60 counts mean the yarn is spun finer, so 60 meters weigh 1 gram. Our featherweight shawl weighs just 80 grams because we used yarn 200/2. Higher counts produce thinner and more expensive yarns. This method also applies to silk, such as 210/2 or 140/2 silk.

Ply refers to the number of Pashmina yarns twisted together to create a single strand for weaving. More plies result in heavier and more substantial items. Two-ply yarn is preferable to single-ply since the twist offsets the torque of a single yarn. Additional plies add weight and color options, but don’t enhance quality. Heavier Cashmere goods are thicker and more expensive.

There are several ways to perform the real Pashmina test, get a small portion or even a fringe of the supposed Pashmina fabric, light it, and wait for it to burn. Then smell and touch it. Since Pashmina or Cashmere is made from real natural animal hair, it should smell like burnt hair, not likely burning plastic. If it’s a synthetic fiber, you may smell burnt leaves and it will burn more brightly and leave a small bump behind.

If you carefully check the weave against the light, you can see an irregular weave. Pure Pashmina is woven on a handloom and hence will always have an irregular weave. These irregularities are the mark of real Pashmina products.

The Pashmina must have a matte finish in coloring. A shiny product indicates the presence of silk mix or other fabric since Pashmina does not shine but it should not be dull either. A little bit of fabric sheen is alright but too much shine is an indication that your Pashmina is fake. Such as in our thread sample kit which the color sample is made from Viscose.

This is another test you must not miss. Pashmina is an animal fiber and is likely to pill, however much you try. Pilling can be reduced to an extent but won’t completely go. If you don’t spot any pilling, it means that there is some synthetic mix. Cause pilling is the natural character of Cashmere.

An alleged cashmere product makes your skin itch, and then it is not genuine. So, it should be non-itchy.

These are some of the most common and simple ways to know if your Pashmina is a genuine one.

Every Cashmere product is labeled with a QR Code available inside having a hologram with an independent tag number within a product known as Chyangra Pashmina recognized worldwide for the 100% genuine and reassurance of the quality that we provide with Trademark.

It’s not that you paid less expensive and Cashmere is not genuine. Don’t worry, no matter whether you buy from Pashminas Nepal or with others whenever or wherever around the globe; we are here to prove your cashmere 100% Genuine.

Scan the QR Code from the label and click to browse, on the bottom of the homepage enter the tag number and click on Verify. Or through desktop/laptop click Verify Your Pashmina with the same process.

We highly recommend all Pashmina or Cashmere products must be Dry Clean Only. For more information on how to wash and store your valuable Cashmere products Click Here

The best way to remove the packing creases is to iron using a slightly damp plain cloth on top of the Pashmina. We wouldn’t recommend ironing directly on the Pashmina. If you have a steam iron then this can be very effective in removing the folds. Just don’t steam too hot or too close.
