How is organic cashmere and pashmina produced?

Well the best organic cashmere and pashmina you can ever find is at Kashmir( http://www.kashmirstorz.com) the valley close to himalayas..

The Major Steps of producing it are as follows.

1. Wool Collection

First of all the wool from Chyangra (Capra Hircus) goat is collected. The Cashmere wool

is collected every spring. Then the soft fine cashmere is separated form the thick coarse

hair. And both the soft cashmere and the thick coarse hair is taken for their further

process.

2. Spinning

The cashmere wool is collected every spring and is basically spun by hand. The yarn is

spun on a spinning wheel locally known as ‘Charkha’. Prior to spinning, the raw material

is treated by stretching and cleaning it to remove any dirt and soaked for a few days in a

mixture of rice and water to make it softer. Hand-spinning is an extremely painstaking

task. It requires immense patience, dexterity and dedication and is amazing process to

watch.

3. Weaving

Cashmere yarn is too fragile for the vibration caused by power looms, the weaving of the

traditional 100% cashmere shawls are therefore done on hand-looms. It is essential for

the weaver to have a uniform hand. for par excellence fabric. Weaving here is done with

a shuttle carrying the soft cashmere yarn through the fine yet strong silk warp. The

weaving process is in itself an art, which has been passed down over generations, to give
