This 100% Pashmina Vintage Scarf is accented with pleats and Hand-Knotted Fringes. This is not a silk blend or cotton blend Kashmir scarf.

This can not be seen when wearing the scarf. This premium cashmere scarf comes from Pashmina goats in the high-altitude regions of Ladakh in Kashmir and is produced only once a year. Pashmina is a fabric made from a cashmere wool, which comes from the undercoat of certain types of goats: Cashmere wool: The softest, longest, and thinnest hair from the chest of the animal. Goats: The Changthangi cashmere goat is a breed that produces cashmere wool. Each goat produces about 80–170 grams of cashmere wool per year. Processing: The wool is collected by hand-combing the goats, then cleaned and sorted. It's then spun by hand on a spinning wheel to create yarn. The yarn is so fine that it's only 12–16 microns in diameter. Finally, the yarn is woven by hand on a loom to create the fabric. Pashmina is known for its quality and rarity, and is sometimes called "gold fiber". Pashmina shawls are often hand-crafted and have long knotted ends and frayed fringes. The word "pashmina" comes from the Persian word pasha, which means "wool".
