(c) Pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it. It is as warm as six sweaters. It is very thin yet very warm. The goats from which the soft pashmina wool is collected, are found an very high altitudes of 5000 metres. The fine hair (fur) of goat can't be woven on machines so weavers make these shawls by hand after almost 250 hours of weaving one plain shawl is made.
