I have a 28 X 70 cream Pashmina Shawl with the letter H embroidered on it. Never used it. Needs to be ironed/pressed. Might make a nice mothers day gift. Packaged and ready to be mailed.
Will barter for sewing notions.

Hi Kathy! I just sent you an email... could you message me with your mailing address? I had surgery unexpectedly the same week the shawl arrived and am just now getting life back in order--I have a box of trims set aside and would like to get these to you.

The only reason they do kill the Tibentan antelope is because the market has driven up the demand for their wool. Oddly enough, instead of domesticating them and then shearing them, they are killing wild, endangered antelope to get their wool. (No, it does not make sense, and yes, this is what they are doing.) Apparently, it used to be enough to wander by and pluck the shed wool off of bushes (the antelope live on very high cliffs and just bounce away if you approach them). Now, it is faster to shoot the animal, shear/skin it, and leave the carcass, further reducing numbers, increasing demand, driving up prices, and making it more difficult for locals to resist the "easy money". And, to reiterate, the lovely shawl offered here is in no way related to this horrible crime on nature. :) Just FYI. :) THIS shawl is pretty and guilt-free. :)

Jojo...I've been to many sheep shearings..that was my point by saying that the sheep are not harmed or killed during the shearing, so what would be the "endangered" part? This was directed to Huckleberry wine who then amended her statement about endangered....it's called sarcasm.

FebruaryViolet, have you never been to a sheep shearing? Sheep are not hurt in the process as they are sheared for their wool. It's simply a haircut for the sheep. The wool simply grows back to have the process done again.

Ths is a silk and wool fabric. Label does not say rayon on it.
I understand that Pashmina is goat. Like sheep wool, it is trimmed from the animal. I do not believe any animal is harmed in the harvesting of this wool.
If anyone finds this offensive, I will pull this barter from the forum. I mean no disrespect to anyone. I am just trying to clean out my basement of some un-needed items.
If no one wants it, I will be putting it in the clothing collection container at my local super-market.

Pashmina wool is from an antelope, I think the young are used, they are wild and they are killed to obtain the fiber.
My apologies!!!
I was thinking of Shahtoosh of the Chiru or Tibetan Antelope which is something else.

So....you don't "kill" a sheep for their wool. What would be the "protection" part, just out of curiosity--they just keep growing wool until they can't walk anymore from the weight?

The Pashminas I purchased were made of rayon.

Is this really pashmina??? If so, I think it is wool from a protected species. I recently saw something from dateline or 20/20. Might want to look into that. :)
