A
100 percent pashmina is..............
Pashmina is wool produced by the mountain goat (Capra Hircus)of
the Himalayas. The mountain goat lives above 14,500 feet (4,500
meters), where temperatures rarely rise above minus 20 degrees
Fahrenheit (minus 30 degrees centigrade) in winter. Because
living on high altitude, the goats need to have a warm winter
fur to protect them against the bitter winter cold and to
survive the extreme climate. Only the animals living on high
altitude will produce this fine wool. In spring the goats
change their winter fur for the lighter summer fur. In spring
the wool is collected by brushing it of the rocks and scrubs
and to brush the goats. The wool of the underbelly of the
goat is used for Pashmina. A goat produces about 90 grams
of wool per year. One woven Pashmina shawl requires the wool
from three goats. Contact : sales@elegantpashmina.comDiscount Card |
