CASHMERE PONCHO100% Handmade Nepalese Cashmere Dimensions: L 98cm W 88cm

Cashmere wool is the softest, most luxurious and the warmest wool in the world. It comes from the hair of underbelly of mountain goat Capra Hircus, locally called “Chyangra”. Mountain goat is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes (12000 ft. to 14000 ft.) of the Himalayan region where the temperature falls down to -40 degrees centigrade. The thermal conductivity of this type of wool is the best in the world as it is responsible for the mountain goats survival at -40 degrees centigrade. Cashmere fibre is less than 14-19 microns in thickness making it very soft whereas human hair is approximately 75 microns thick. Pashmina is used to make luxurious products like shawls, sweaters, scarves, wraps, and stoles etc. These products are hand spun, woven and embroidered by traditional weavers and artisans who’s knowledge has been passed down through the generations as Cashmere products have been manufactured in Nepal for thousands of years.
