This is a nice soft and relatively warm scarf, but it's not Pashmina. It is probably rayon or acrylic.

Wikipedia says this about Pashmina - "Pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it. The name comes from Pashmineh (), made from Persian pashm ("wool")The wool comes from changthangi or pashmina goat, which is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas in Nepal, Pakistan and northern India. Pashmina shawls are hand spun, woven and embroidered in Kashmir, and made from fine cashmere fiber."

My grandmother had 2-3 pashmina shawls bought from Kashmir. They were open weave, very light and a full size shawl (size of a small blanket) could pass through a size 6 ring, but when you put them on they could almost make you sweat in cold weather. And they are very expensive. Pashmina is 100% ultra fine cashmere wool and is not easily available so some silk blends 70% pashmina wool and 30% silk have also been called pashmina. 100% pashmina is very susceptible to damage and is eaten by insects unless stored properly in moth balls so it can be fairly expensive to buy and maintain pashmina.

These scarves are soft and warm and are definitely easier to maintain than real pashmina. However, I don't think there is any % of wool in them let alone cashmere wool. Still they are a good buy so I'd still give it 4 stars.

I just wish the manufacturer would not label it as as 100% pashmina as it is very misleading.
