The cashmere fibers are obtained from the undercoat of Chyangras, the Himalayan goats reared in the highlands of Nepal. Cashmere is really soft and the wool is produced from cashmere goats. only cashmere goats can produce the luxurious fibers. only six to eight ounce of wool can be obtained from one goat once a year. Cashmere feels and looks amazing, woven so that cashmere is expensive. Cashmere wool is more than three times more insulating than sheep wool. Cashmere from Nepal is also popular as Pashmina. However, there’s difference between the cashmere and Pashmina. First, the wool from the mountain goats are sheared off during the spring season. However, a single goat produces just 3 ounces of pashmina wool in a year, which is not even sufficient to weave a pashmina shawl; wool from about three Chyangras are needed. After the wools are collected, they are then hand spun. Using the local spinning wheel, the Chakra, people spun the yarn. However plain and simple it might sound, weaving demands much patience, dedication, and skills; which is why cashmere from Nepal is widely preferred across the globe.
