Introduction to cashmere and its history

Some may not accept this story and consider cashmere's birthplace (Termeh's birthplace) to Central Asia and the Highlands of Kashmir. "Where is cashmere's birthplace (Termeh's birthplace?)". If we review the handwoven and any of the other branches of Indian handicrafts, we can easily understand that Indians have used Buddha statues, Indian special architecture or animals such as elephants, tigers and other Indian symbols in terms of their religious status and living conditions, while in cashmere of Kashmir texture only the specific design and role of Iran such as The Jagheh Badami can be seen and this is a strong reason. Being Iranian is cashmere."

In the Persian language, cashmere calls Termeh

Cashmere Applications 

Cashmere Texture

For cashmere texture, they use high-quality white silk and wool with long fibres. After the wool has turned white enough, it is usually dyed in jujube, red, green, orange and black. When the world had not yet become machined and automatic and the "Jacquard" machine had not come to Iran, weavers with their delicate and narrow fingers wore fine and complex designs, and at the end. the weaver's name was written in the corner of Termeh until a weaver named Reza Turk used "Mako" for cashmere weaving.

In the past, cashmere was weaved in narrow pieces and according to its application in different sizes, which are called shawls, and then these pieces were sewn together from behind so that they looked monolithic. The most famous role and design of termeh is "Boteh Jegheh", followed by "Shakh Gavazni" (Deer Antler)  and "Gol Shah Abbasi" (Shah Abbasi Flower). When they weaved cashmere with jacquard because it was not possible to change and rotate the design, new designs would not be woven, and sometimes a role would remain on the machine for two to four years.

Maintenance of cashmere

After the story of the production of cashmere, it is good to know how to take care of this precious fabric: Cashmere fabric is vulnerable to light and humidity with all its strength and resistance. If you have a cashmere tablecloth, never put it where it is exposed to the sun, because it pales. This fabric is sensitive because of its silk, so the best way to wash it is to leave cashmere to dry cleaning or steaming. 

But if you want to wash your desktop or sajada at home or jewellery, hang it in the open air first and tap gently to get the dust out of it, then soak it with lukewarm water and gentle detergent that doesn't have enzymes or bleach and wash carefully without grabbing. To dry the cashmere, dry it horizontally and in an open environment. If you want to iron cashmere, be sure to iron on a cotton cloth and from behind.
