The same here, they call pashmina even cotton and polyester wraps. At least on Amazon we could read customers reviews.

The pashmina is MAN MADE and has poly in it. I think this cashmere is the same thing. They have no qualms about calling it cashmere. In there minds it isn't a fiber but a style?<br /><br />thanks for trying though.Lorri Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231052267534572614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-413653357732899922011-11-16T21:42:16.685-08:002011-11-16T21:42:16.685-08:00I have even had trouble with some places saying th...I have even had trouble with some places saying that something is 100% wool and it's not. I guess anyone can say anything these days. I<br />f they give it a name, like "pashmina", they don't have to say what's in it. It's just 100% "pashmina"... like 100% mayonaise or 100% ketchup. The name becomes a whole thing in itself. What happen to truth in advertising?<br /><br />I will research this a bit. I owe you one after that wonderful Nuno felting class in Petaluma.farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-11075055469318850572011-11-16T15:37:52.676-08:002011-11-16T15:37:52.676-08:00Can't help with your quest, but I'll be in...Can't help with your quest, but I'll be interested to see what you find out.Joanne Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759522152058279949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-10011742274476569782011-11-16T12:49:39.031-08:002011-11-16T12:49:39.031-08:00you might find a decent explanation here: http://w...you might find a decent explanation here: http://www.pashminainternational.com/cheappashminas.html<br />amazon sells pashminas that are made from a viscose fiber which, i think, is a rayon.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-8692058818112104702011-11-16T12:35:27.361-08:002011-11-16T12:35:27.361-08:00I just ordered some 100% rayon scarves that sound ...I just ordered some 100% rayon scarves that sound like they are fuzzy soft so I'll see how that goes and let everyone know after I dye them.Lorri Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231052267534572614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168577161699519726.post-55892212888540976662011-11-16T12:09:26.720-08:002011-11-16T12:09:26.720-08:00It's a fiber jungle out there!

My aunt taught me to pull out of few fibres and hold them to a flame. Then you can smell if the fibres are natural (and animal) - or man made/synthetic. That's a useful help when thrifting for good fabrics without tags. Good luck finding cashmere fibres!Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939390471914205973noreply@blogger.com
