Europe. For hundreds of years only royalty could afford

with gems as among the most precious gifts of nature. Napoleon

Cashmere is the down shed annually by cashmere
goats living in the high, dry plateau. In order for these
goats to survive they have coarse outer hair that repels
the weather. Beneath that external coat lies a much finer
fiber, cashmere, which insulates these animals from the
bitter cold. It takes each of these rare cashmere goats
four years to produce enough cashmere for one. In order
to collect the cashmere,each goat is combed by hand every
spring. The fleece is then collected and sorted by hand.
In addition, the cashmere products are usually knit on hand-operated
machines. Converting cashmere into our luxurious cashmere
shawl, cashmere sweater, cashmere muffler, cashmere scarves
etc.is achieved only with extraordinary time and skill.
Cashmere products are famous for it's Kashmir
embroidery. Kashmiri embroidery, called Kasida, is varied,
rich in color and elaborate in details and exquisite in
execution. The finest Kasida work in cashmere shawls has
no 'wrong' side. Connoisseurs set great value to the embroidery
that displays similar fineness of work on both sides of
the shawl. The kasida pattern are drawn freely by the naqqash
(the designer) mostly from memory. These are inspired by
the sparkling lakes, the broad curves of the Jhelum, the
breath- taking colors of the skies at sunrise and sunset
over the mountains. The naqqash also draws upon poetic fancies
and religious or philosophical themes, portraying them in
the designs. The common motifs include floral borders, paisley,
chinar leaves and buta cones.
The softer-than-Cashmere texture, the
wool which grows soft with use, the countless hours of painstaking
work that go into making each shawl, make the fabric very
special. The cashmere products has a superbly textural feel,
drapes beautifully, feels soft, warm and light to the touch
and will serve a user well for years. Its timeless patterns
remain eternally in vogue. In the Indian sub- continent,
cashmere are passed down from one generation to another.
To the credit of the traditional shawl-makers of Kashmir,
the fine cashmere has not been made successfully elsewhere
although attempts have been made by other countries to replicate
this craft, developed into an art form by the Kashmiris.
The wool offers light weight insulation without bulk. The
fibers are highly adaptable and appropriate for all climates.
A high moisture content allows insulation to change with
the relative humidity of atmosphere.

Cashmere is not just a kind of tiny wool,
it is not wool at all. Cashmere comes from goats living
in the high and dry plateaus surrounding the Gobi Desert
of Mongolia and China. Exposed to the most extreme environmental
elements of altitude and cold, the goats grow a downy undercoat
of soft hair beneath their coarse exterior coat, those hairs
are extremely sleek, soft, warm and silky, they are called
Cashmere.
In despite of all the fancy stories, let
us see the explanation from the official organization for
wildlife: FWS (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service): "Pashmina
is the local name in India for the cashmere goat. Recently,
this name is attributed to not only the source animal, but
to the fiber and the actual shawl itself. Pashmina shawl
has become extremely popular in the fashion world since
publicity about the illegality of shahtoosh ended most overt
shahtoosh sales."
