The term "Pashmina" refers to superior quality cashmere. Cashmere processing costs are high, and to reduce them, true cashmere is usually blended with other fibers. Lana Grossa Pashmina is a perfect choice in case if you want something that feels similar to cashmere, but 30-45% less in cost. Pashmina is luxuriously soft, slightly stretchable because of tight s-twist that helps to make fashionable garments, and is suitable for hand knit and crochet fashion of any kind: for ladies and men outfits, for office and leisure sweaters, jackets, waistcoats, wraps, skirts, dresses, accessories of any type, etc. Garments made of Pashmina drape exceptionally well and are carefree. • For information: The name "Pashmina" refers to a type of cashmere wool, textiles made from it, or pashmina goats - a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas. Persian "pashm" means "wool". This type of wool has been used for thousands of years (from 15th centure) to make high-quality shawls that also bear the same name. The finest pashmina shawls are made in Kashmir by specially skilled artisans, and to complete one shawl can take up to six years, therefore true pashmina costs a lot. * Similar yarn: Absolute, Cashmere Tweed FIBRE: 78% Merino extra fine, 22% Premium Cashmere YARN WEIGHT: Light Worsted TENSION: 10x10cm (4"): 20 sts/ 24 rows NEEDLES: 4.25 - 4.5 mm (US No. 6-7) LENGTH: approx. 125 m / 139 yds BALL WEIGHT: 50g Shade Card 2009 | Shade Card 2010 PATTERNS: Linea Rossa No. 2, No. 4, Filati Men No. 4 Sample patterns for cashmere Price: $17.99 In inventory: 03 Rose, 05 Baby Pink (7+10 balls), 06 Baby Blue, 10 Cordovan (10 balls), 11 Terracotta (10 balls), 15 Tan, 18 Teal * awaiting arrival (Mar): col. 38 Avocado Garment Care:
