Tibetan antelope
Kashmir shawls are traditionally made either of "shahtoosh" or "pashmina". "Shahtoosh" wool comes from the fine hairs on the underbelly of the Tibetan antelope. Cashmere derives its name from the home of the Kashmir shawl, and is often incorrectly equated with "pashmina". "Pashmina" and cashmere both come from the Changthangi goat, but "pashmina" is made from a fine subset of cashmere ranging from 12–16 microns, whereas generic cashmere ranges from 12–21 microns.
