The most common Pashmina is a luxurious mix of the finest, softest cashmere and silk. Pashmina is made from goats raised in the Himalayan mountain region. The word Pashmina comes from the Parsian word pashm which means fine wool. The reason Himalayan goats produce such soft wool is because of the elevation at which they live. Pashmina is from the goat's soft underbelly hair the goats grow every year to gain warmed in the cold winter Himalayan mountains. At spring time the goats no longer need the warmth of their coats and the soft underbelly hair fibers are spun into yarn and then hand woven with the silk. The Pashmina fiber is strong, soft, and only one fifth of a human hair. It may take more than 3 goats to make just on shawl but the goats are not harmed and continue each year to provide such a valuable commodity to make fine wool Pashminas, the very best cashmere known.
