What is a "pashmina"?

A pashmina is a type of scarf that is made from fine cashmere wool, traditionally sourced from the pashmina goat in the Kashmir region of India and Nepal. The shawl is soft, lightweight, and incredibly warm, making it perfect for colder climates. It is often worn draped over the shoulders and can be wrapped around the neck for added warmth. Pashmina shawls are also popular fashion accessories, with a wide variety of colors and patterns available to suit different outfits and occasions.
