Where does wool come from?
Sheep. But wait….. Baby lambs give the softest wool. It is plenty in Newzealand, Ireland and Kashmir. The type of temperate weather in these areas grow the best sheep and so does the quality of wool. Pashmina is a beautiful, soft wool. It is indiginous to Kashmir valley. (northern sections of India in the foothills of Himalayas). Very picky buyers prefer Pashmina because it is actually the wool sheared off from the new born or unborn babies of the sheep. It is cruel, to my way of thinking. But, you would have seen it in expensive shops – it is absolutely beautiful, soft and very soothing even to touch. Obviously it is very expensive. Human beings will stop at nothing to enhance their own pleasure. We are very arrogant with mother Nature, aren’t we?
