This amazing cashmere comes bag fabric Manufacturers exclusively from the underbelly of the Capra Hircus goat, in the most remote regions of the Himalayas. Because they live approximately 14,000 feet above sea level, these special goats grow a thin, inner coat of hair that insulates them during the long, harsh Himalayan winters. It is this unique inner coat of hair that is used to produce pashmina. Each hair is about 1/6th the diameter of most other types of hair - but is still surprisingly durable while being stunningly soft and comforting to human skin.
Important tips in taking care of your pashmina:
The Real Pashmina should be dry cleaned. If dry cleaning isnt an option, try to wash by hand, first use very cold water. You may add a little soft detergent such as baby shampoo or Woolite if you wish but please be certain the detergent is completely dissolved first. Then wash very gently by hand while being very careful with the hand-tied tassels if you are washing a pashmina accessory.
Do NOT squeeze or twist. To dry a pashmina, keep it in a towel and roll in towel to soak the dripping river from the pashmina.
It is important that you do NOT use any bleaching product to rinse your pashmina scarf. This will degrade the softness and the quality of your scarf.
Avoid direct sunlight while drying your pashmina scarf. Allow it air dry naturally under the shade. Spread it evenly on a plain surface using your hands and lay flat to dry. Watch out for any wrinkles or twist
Try to store your pashmina in a place where there is no direct sunlight or too much moisture. If you intend to store it for longer period, its a good idea to fold it neatly and pack in a tissue paper. Use moth- proof stuff for complete safety.
Use moth- proof stuff for complete safety and fold them inside out in the case of cashmere sweaters.
That's it. Proper pashmina and cashmere care is actually easy. All you have to do is spend some time and though while doing your washing.
One secret about pashmina is the older it gets, the softer it becomes so if you really want to see the true quality and softness of your pashmina scarf, look after it.
Now it is time to enjoy!
