Pure pashmina — not a cashmere blend. Our Cressida pashmina is woven from 100% Changthangi goat fibre, collected above 14,000 feet in the mountains of Nepal, where the extreme altitude produces the world's finest natural fibre. Pashmina runs 12–15 microns in diameter, finer than the finest cashmere (14–19 microns) and roughly four times finer than human hair.
Dimensions: Over 6 feet long and 2 feet wide / 185cm × 70cm. Weight: 330g (11.64 oz) — light enough to fold into a clutch bag, warm enough to replace a light jacket above 10°C/50°F. Woven by hand in Nepal using traditional techniques.
Wear as an evening wrap, travel blanket, or neck scarf. The answer to 'what is the difference between pashmina and cashmere scarves?'
Our pashmina wool comes from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, which is native to the Himalayan region of Nepal. These goats, well-adapted to the cold climate, naturally shed their undercoat during the spring moulting season, allowing artisans to collect the precious fibres through gentle combing, ensuring no harm to the animals.
