Pashmina known as Cashmere comes from Persian Pashm meaning premium quality wool fiber, the Soft Gold king of fibers. It’s the finest Cashmere wool in the world. Pashmina has come to be known as a special kind of wool that comes from the outer skin of the Himalayan goat known as Capra Hircus locally called Chyangra living in the high altitudes of the Himalayas above 14,000 feet. Himalayan goats are found in the high plateau regions of Nepal, Tibet, Kashmir, and the central plains of Inner Mongolia.

There is no difference between the two. Pashmina is the Indian/Persian word for Cashmere. The word Cashmere is derived from the Kashmir region of India, whereas Pashmina is the original name for the same fiber in Nepal.

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. So, our all products are Hand-Woven in Nepal and with very fine Grade A Cashmere Yarn using 15-16.5 microns in diameter. So, it cannot be spun by machines and so the downy wool is hand-woven.

You can purchase Pashmina products from mufflers to king-size Blankets that are made from 100% Pure Cashmere using different Ply for different products to make or 70% Cashmere with 30% Silk blend. We offer different Cashmere products in the following standard sizes for our valued customers which are always available Click Here

Cashmere is available in several grades, including A, B, C, and so on. But we always offer only the highest quality of cozy Pashmina products made with Grade A Cashmere yarn. The best grade of Cashmere is 15-16.5 microns in diameter and all the Pashmina or Cashmere products that we always offer are made from 100% very fine Grade A Cashmere yarn.

Grade B: Grade B fiber is normally thicker than Grade A Cashmere fiber, with a diameter of 19 microns.  It is still a luxurious fabric but feels less soft and fine than the grade A and as well the prices are lower.

Grade C: This is the lowest quality of Cashmere fiber. It is very thick and is about twice in thickness of Grade A fiber. Grade C fabrics are about 30 microns in diameter and the price is much less than both grade A and B. Pashminas made from this Grade usually feel very less soft and warm when touched.

Our valued customers are always welcome to order from multiple sources to compare our superior quality with that of any other online retailer.

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

The Count means that 26 meters of single yarn weigh 1 gram. Following on 60 counts indicates that the yarn has been spun longer than the 26 counts to make 60 meters weigh 1 gram, making a finer yarn. Our featherweight shawl comes only the weight of 80 grams as we used yarn 200/2. The higher the count the more expensive the yarn will be and the thinner too. The same method refers to Silk as well as compares to 210/2 or 140/2 silk.

A simple way to look at a Ply is the number of Pashmina yarn twisted together to make one piece of yarn to weave. So, the greater numbers of ply’s have greater Cashmere and the more substantial the items. Two-ply yarn is much better than single-ply because the ply twist offsets the torque inherent in a single yarn. Additional ply’s added weight and color option, but the extra ply’s added no extra quality. Added weight means making thicker Cashmere goods which will be more expensive too.

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.

Once we sell our Cashmere products, we do not gain only profit but we always want to make them happy, and satisfied and assure our clients that they have bought genuine Cashmere from Nepal; “what you paid you to get more than that”. 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.
