A soft, lightweight, luxurious fabric made from the hair of the Tibetan goat, which produces fine fleece called pashm. Pashmina shawls are woven with silk running the length of the weave.

The name comes from Pashmineh, made from Persian pashm (= "wool"). The special goat's fleece has been used for thousands of years to make high-quality shawls that also bear the same name.
