Kashmir Pashmina

Download

Kashmir Pashmina is derived from the fine woollen undercoat of the Pashmina goat, found in the high-altitude pastures of the Western Himalayas, including South Eastern Ladakh. The fiber, measur ing just 12-16 microns in thickness, is incredibly soft, warm, and luxurious. The natural fleece colors range from white to gray, red, brown, and black. Pashmina is woven into fabric using three primary techniques-Twill (Sade Bunai), Diamond (Cheshm-e-Bulbul Bunai), and Herringbone (Gada Kond Bunai), with the Diamond weave being the most widely produced and distinctive to Kashmir.
