what consists of the "pashmina" fabirc?

Answer 1

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, pashm, from the Persian word for "wool," refers to the underfur of certain Tibetan animals, particularly goats, commonly used for the making of shawls. In contrast, pashmina, as seen on the Internet, in fashion magazines and mail-order catalogues, is a textile blend of silk and cashmere.

The pashmina garment commonly advertised on the internet and in shops is usually a 80/20, 70/30 or even a 50/50 blend of cashmere and silk. This is said to produce a strong yet supple, lightweight, luxurious wrap for evening or day-time wear. Most vendors claim that the wool in their pashmina is produced by very special Himalayan goats. Cashmere refers to the fine wool from the undercoat of these Kashmir goats.
