A bit of history on cashmere wool: Kashmere comes from the Kashmir goats or Chyangras goats of Tibetan origin which are found in the mountainous regions around the Himalayas
and Central Asia. The finest Kashmiri wool comes from these goats because they live at the altitude of 12000 to 14000 feet where temperatures reach as low as -40ºC and because it gets so cold  mountains where these Kashmir goats live the fine down that they produce to keep warm in the winter is what is used to make the Cashmere shawl, scarves, sweaters,  coats, ties, socks, jackets etc.  Pashmina is the crème de la crème  of cashmere Pashmina comes from Himalayan region as Pashmina fiber, it is less than 15-19 microns in thickness making it very soft (whereas human hair is 75 microns thick).

One goat produces 3to 8 ounces of Pashmina wool per year.

Every summer, herders comb the soft under-fur from the goats and after cleaning the soft inner part of its fur, it is then spun into yarn, which is woven to make different types of Pashmina products. Chyangras (Kashmir goat) are not hurt in any way in this process since taking the fur out is similar to trimming our hair.

Any articles made of cashmere is quite costly due to the fact that only the down from the goat is used. To give you an idea it takes anywhere from 3 to 4 goats to make a scarf or put a different way the down is so fine that it takes 1.5 km.
