What is Pashmina?

We know they are a fashion 

MUST,    

 but what is Pashmina? 

 I'm so glad you asked!  Pashmina is a fine natural cashmere wool fiber, from the changthangi or Pashmina goat.  These goats are from the Himalayan mountain regions of Pakistan, Nepal, and  India. The Pashmina fiber is hand spun from the wool of these goats, and woven into fabric that has become very popular for scarves and wraps. For added softness, often the Pashmina fiber is blended with silk, making a very durable and comfortable accessory.  When purchasing  a Pashmina wrap, make sure you have at least 40 to 70 percent Pashmina wool. The higher the Pashmina content, the heavier the fabric. There are many fake pashmina  shawls sold that are really acrylic or viscose - which are nice accessories, just not true Pashminas.  You can find some true Pashmina and Pashmina/Silk blends at Scarves and More.

Simple fall leaves look great on a scarf!

Fashion and seasons go together like evergreens and Christmas.  Like boots and Autumn.  And like this fun fall leaves 21 inch square scarf, in hand-washable satin, available from Scarves and More.net!

Leaves everywhere!

One trend in scarf fashions is to wear leaves on your scarf.  I have a couple of scarves and really stand out in that area.  One of my favorites is an oblong scarf found at Scarves and More.Net, on this page.  It is one of the prettiest fall scarves I have seen yet, and it goes with not only brown and tans, but black too.  Add the fact that it is hand washable satin, and it's a winner in my book anyday!

Fall 2011 Trends

While I am always sad to see summer go, one thing makes me really happy: Fall is scarf time! All those wonderful accessories make a comeback when the temps drop.

This Fall is no exception!

The scarf fashions this year are better than ever!

I particularly love the browns and tans this time of year. One of my favorite new designs, shown at left, is a 42" square satin scarf that you can find at Scarves and More.net.

I have another new favorite of the satin square scarves, (shown at right) and it has some fresh colors, including peach! The olive colored border is magnificent. It just shouts of changing colors of Autumn. This one is a winner for sure!

I'll be sharing more of the fall trends soon. Check back regularly! Thanks for visiting.
