About Pashmina
Pashmina is a type of wool from a particular breed of goat that is found at the higher altitudes of the Himalayan region (13000 feet of sea level). The fur of these goats are collected by combing, unlike the technique of shearing, which is used for other animals to collect the fine wool. The goats grow a thin inner coat of hair that helps them cope with the extremely harsh winter season. This inner coat of hair is used to produce pashmina. This coat of hair is sheded by them during the spring. It is durable and comforting to the human skin during the temperature drop. (source: Prem Singh Jina (1996). Ladakh: The Land and the People.
