Cashmere & Merino Soft Blanket
Blanket made in Kathmandu, Nepal out of the softer cashmere and warm merino.
Cashmere is the fibre which is also known as pashm or pashmina for its use in the handmade shawls. The founder of the cashmere wool industry is traditionally held to be the 15th century ruler of Kashmir, Zayn-ul-Abidin, who introduced weavers from Central Asia.
Cashmere textiles have been manufactured in Nepal for hundreds of years. The test for a quality pashmina is its warmth and feel. The fibre, cashmere is derived from mountain goats. The yarn and fiber comes from changthangi or pashmina goat, which is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Altai Mountain Goat of Tibet and Inner Mongolia.The high Himalayas of Tibet and Mongolia has a harsh, cold climate and in order to survive, the mountain goats have developed exceptionally warm and light fiber which may be slightly coarser and warmer than cashmere fibers obtained from lower region goats. Cold temperature and the climate is very supportive to the pashmina producing types of goat. To survive the freezing environment at 14,000 feet altitude, it grows a unique, incredibly soft pashm (inner coat) six times finer than human hair. As it is only 14-19 microns in diameter
Size : 175 × 223 cm
