The History and Usage of Shahtush Fabric

What is Shahtush fabric?

• Shahtush is one of the rarest and most costly fabrics in the world, made of the white, gray, and silver hairs of wild goats. 
• Because of the restricted availability of this fabric, it is considered to be one of the world's most valuable textiles. 
• Named after the Persian term that literally translates to "lord of exquisite wools". 
• The wild goats that were used to manufacture this fabric are now considered to be legally endangered.

What makes it stand out

Application and usage

• The fabrics are mostly used in making scarves and shawls. 

Care instructions

• You can either wash it by hand or use the wool wash setting on your washing machine.
• Make sure that the water temperature does not go beyond 30 degrees Celsius, and that the spin cycle is kept to a minimum. 
• After washing, if the cloth is still extremely wet, kneading it gently will help to squeeze the water out of the wool fibers and remove excess moisture.
