Scarves & Pashminas

Greedy Monkey offers the highest quality pashminas and endeavor’s to find styles and patterns not currently on the market. Pashmina from the Persian word for wool, in the west the popular name is Cashmere.

The fine wool comes from the undercoat of the Himalayan mountain sheep most of these sheep are raised and looked after by semi-nomadic herders.The sheep yield between 3-8 ounces of fibre per year the Tibetan plateau provides the ideal environment for Pashmina growth. The fiber is exceptionally absorbent, and it dyes very easily and deeply.

In recent years, pashmina shawls have been worn time and time again by all women over the world, wanting warmth and luxury.

Caring for your pashmina. Pashmina gets softer with wear and therefore doesn’t take well to chemicals when washing, we recommend washing in warm water with mild natural soap or shampoo, rinse well until the water runs clear and dry out of direct sunlight. Do not wring or twist.
