About

Cashmere (Pashmina) shawls Have been manufactured in Kashmir for thousands of years. Pashmina Shawls are very popular items for sale in the Valley, but make sure to test the quality before purchasing. The test for a 100% pashmina has been warmth, feel and the passing of the shawl through a wedding ring. Secondly, the weave pattern on a good Pashmina is fainter than on a "silk Pashmina" or other wool Pashmina. There is also lower grades of pashmina known as Semi-Pashmina and Half-Pashmina which are still of an exceptional quality but much lower price . Also check if they are machine woven or hand woven . Pashmina shawls are popular not only in India but also abroad. The internet today is full of dealers trying to sell Pashmina shawls.
