Pashmina scarves also known as cashmere scarves are made of wool derived from the pashmina goat indigenous to the Himalayas. Having its roots in the 15th century Kashmir today, these shawls are marketed throughout the world.
Being famous for its warmth and soft feel this gauzy and open weave fabric can be dyed and spun and knitted into clothing of all sort including scarves.
Today, the most common blend of cashmere fabrics are 70% pashmina/cashmere with 30% silk and 50% pashmina/cashmere with 50% silk to enhance durability and strength.
These lightweight shawls drape well and are available in a variety of colors and sizes. Though the natural color of pashmina is white, gray and brown but it can be dyed into any color.
The price of a cashmere scarf can vary from a couple of dollars to thousands of dollars depending on the content and quality of pure pashmina wool.
