Some important facts about pashmina
Pashmina or Pashm is the finest cashmere wool obtained from Kashmir, India. The word Pashmina is derived from the Persian term “Pashmineh” that’s meaning is “made from Pashm” and Pash means wool in Persian language. It is obtained from a special kind of goat living in high altitude regions of India. This fabric is manufactured every year during the spring season (molting) when goats shed away their coat developed during the winter course. Approximately 90grams of this wool is collected from one goat every year and goes through the process to produce pashmina.
The procedure of making handloom pashmina includes three processes- spinning, weaving, and dyeing. Throughout the winter season, the inner coat of wool of goat re-grows and get prepared for the extraction in the coming spring season.

Ø Spinning
Every year, the wool is collected and undergoes the spinning process done by hand. The fiber is spun on a spinning wheel also known as Charkha in local language. Before undergoing the spinning, raw material is treated by stretching and cleaning in order to remove all the dirt. Then it is soaked for a short duration (few days) in a blend of rice and water to give the extreme softness.
Hand-spinning is the most time taking and painstaking process that needs to be performed very carefully. Lots of dedication and patience is required during this procedure that is quite interesting to watch.
