ANSWER: Pashmina
 
  • Pashmina, internationally known as "Cashmere", a fine luxury fibre is being produced from Changthang goats bred in the Ladakh region of India.
  • Pashmina producing goats are of great importance for revitalizing the economy of the Changthang and the Leh district of Ladakh which produces more than 80 percent of the total Pashmina yield of the country.
  • Common usage defines the fiber as wool but is finer and softer, giving its characteristics as compared to sheep's wool. It is not obtained from sheep but is obtained from goat.
