Looking great and luxurious in Pashmina hijab
The word cashmere derives from an old spelling of Kashmir. The wool comes from pashmina goat, a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas.
Pashmina shawls are hand spun, woven and embroidered in Kashmir and made from fine cashmere fibre. Pashmina is known for its softness and warmth. As the fibre cannot tolerate high tension, pure pashmina is rather gauzy and open weave.
The most popular pashmina fabric is a 70% pashmina/30% silk blend, but 50/50 is also common. The 70/30 is tightly woven, has an elegant sheen and drapes nicely, but is still quite soft and light-weight.
I like pashmina shawls for hijab especially for winter wear because of its warmness, enhanced sheen and softness that the fabric (cashmere blended with silk) had.
It is also generously sized for extra coverage. Another advantage of a pashmina hijab is that it does not slip off the head.
You can wear Pashmina with laid back styles or tailored work outfits; whatever way, you will always look fabulous in Pashmina hijab.

A good quality Pashmina will be much lighter and softer to the touch than a poor quality pashmina.
The best way to wash your pashmina is to take it to dry-cleaners. But it is also possible to clean a Pashmina by hand using cool or luke-warm water and either natural soap, shampoo or fabric conditioner.
Gently caress the Pashmina with a neutral detergent and then leave to soak for about 10 minutes in the bathtub before rinsing thoroughly with cool or luke-warm water. The Pashmina can then be blotted dry by laying it on a clean dry towel and then draping it over a shower curtain until it is thoroughly dry.
Pashminas usually needs not require ironing as the wrinkles will fall out when the Pashmina is hung up. If an iron is used, a cool dry iron is the safest option.
