Pashmina wool is obtained from the fur of the world's best wool goat, the Changthang goat or Capra hircus. This breed of goats is reared by nomads at a height of 13,000 feet above sea level in the Changthang region of Ladakh.

Answer 2

Answer:

➡Pashmina can also be defined as the down (undercoat) fibre derived from cashmere goats with a diameter of 30 microns or less.

Pashmina has derived its name from the Persian word 'Pashm' meaning, soft gold, the king of fibres .

▶Required answer:-

✒Pashmina refers to a fine variant of spun cashmere, the animal-hair fibre forming the downy undercoat of the Changthangi goat. The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir, pashm referred to the raw unspun wool of domesticated Changthangi goats.

➡Shahtoosh shawls are illegal in the United States. Pashmina comes from Tibetan mountain goats. While the makers of pashmina claim that the animals aren't killed outright, the Tibetan mountain goats who are farmed for their fleece are exploited constantly and eventually killed.
