Genuine Silk-Pashmina Shawls date
back to 15th Century India
and were entirely
handcrafted by weaving the
finest silk fibers with the
finest of Cashmere fibers.
It is believed that that
Moghul rulers of the royal
court first inspired and
stimulated the production of
luxury pashmina shawls by
bringing Turkmenistan master
weavers from the fabled Silk
Road to the Vale of Kashmir
in India, where sericulture
was widespread. Known in
the Urdu language as
pashm or pashmina,
the finest wool fibers come
from the downy underfleece
of the Kashmir goats.
Only this soft undercoat of
Kashmir goats is true
cashmere. So this fabric is
true silk cashmere. Since
the mid 90s, there has been
a true resurgence of demand
for pashmina by trendy
Western shoppers all over,
particularly for
high-quality ones.
Once again, the popularity
of real pashmina is so
enormous that in the last
year or two, street peddlers
from Vancouver, Canada to
New York City have been
hawking fake "100% Pashmina"
fabrics that in reality are
made of synthetic acrylic
originating in the Far East.
Buyer beware! Genuine ones are prized by
wearers, gift-givers, and
travellers for their superb
textures as well as for
their unique lustre,
fineness, softness,
smoothness, lightness,
warmth, and comfort. Premium
silk pashmina is also
known for its beautiful
drape. This fabric has more
percentage of high quality
cashmere that is Pashmina.
It comes in two grades A and
B. Grade A has 4-ply
cashmere Pashmina with Silk
Blended into it. Grade B has
2-Ply cashmere with blendings
into it. Since it has more
cashmere so its weights bit
more then 80-20 Silk
Cashmere. In A Grade as the
Cashmere blended is of 4-Ply
called Pashmina so it has
more soft effects blended
with shine and lustre. Grade
B is bit less soft as the
quality of cashmere used in
2-ply only. The Silk used in
both is 70 gsm quality.
