| RAFFLE FOR PASHMINA |
| (Cashmere Shawl) |
| by Pat Scott |
|
| We will be selling tickets for a pashmina shawl during July, and the shawl will be raffled at The Butternut Creek Festival at Meek's Park on August 11. Tickets are 50 cents each or 3 for $1.00. |
|
| This shawl is a highly-prized fashion item, available at certain department stores for well over $100. Pashmina, from the Persian word for wool, comes from the old spelling of Kashmir. This fine wool comes from the undercoat of Himalayan goats, which live in the most remote regions of the Tibetan Plateau. For over a thousand years cashmere has been woven into shawls and blankets, prized by royalty for its softness, warmth, and long life. |
|
| Today, most of the world's pashmina shawls are woven on handlooms in India, and most are woven on a warp of spun silk for increased suppleness and strength. They can be washed gently in cold water with baby shampoo and laid flat to dry after pressing between two towels. They can also be dry cleaned. |
