Pashmina (material)

Pashmina (/pæʃˈmiːnə, pɑːʃ-/, also UK: /pʌʃ-/)^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] refers to, depending on the source, the cashmere wool of the Changthangi cashmere goat,^[5] fine Kashmiri cashmere wool,^[6] or any cashmere wool.^[7]

The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir, pashm referred to the raw unspun wool of domesticated Changthangi goats.^[8] In common parlance today, pashmina may refer either to the material or to the variant of the Kashmir shawl that is made from it.^[9] Both cashmere and pashmina come from the same goat but typical cashmere ranges from 12 to 21 microns in diameter, whereas pashmina can also refer to a cashmere and silk blend (70% / 30%) that has a typical fiber range from 12 to 16 microns.^[10]
