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 fabric are now considered to be legally endangered.

What makes it stand out

Texture	Shahtush fabric has a sheer gauze-like quality.
Lightweight	It is a very lightweight and soft fabric.
Warm	Due to its fiber content, the fabric is warm to wear.

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.
