Nepal is well known for its
hand made materials. Cashmere Pashmina adds glow to this concept
as it is made by people here using the natural materials produced
at the Himalayan part of the country.
Cashmere is type of yarn made from the fiber
obtained from the Cashmere Goat. This word is derived from
the word Chyangra (a kind of goat), the inhabitant of the
great Himalayan, Mountain range and the sub-Siberian latitudes
of North-Eastern Asia.
Cashmere is characterized by its soft fibers.
For a natural goat fiber to be considered Cashmere, it must
be under 18.5 micrometers in diameter and at least 3.175 centimeters
long. It is noted as providing a natural light-weight insulation
without bulk. Fibers are highly adaptable and are easily constructed
into fine or thick yarns, and light to heavy-weight fabrics.
Appropriate for all climates, a high moisture content allows
insulation properties to change with the relative humidity
in the air. [Read
