Hi Marie
Though I have written to never wash pashmina in washing machine, I think there are many who use it to wash their pashmina – in the delicate cycle. But I would really be afraid of the spin cycle. If you wring it also the fibers may get damaged.

Mine reads 100% pashmina. So With that information I am unclear as to how to wash it. I am about to put it in a laundry bag. Woolite. Lukewarm water. Delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry. No mention of dry clean anywhere. I await your reply

Hi Virginia
This is shedding and it is normal with wool type scarvesv- it is the short fibers detaching from the fabric. I have read that if you keep the fabric in a ziplock cover and keep in the freezer for sometime before wearing it the shedding will be less. Viscose rayon etc are silk alternatives and they also shed a lot. Your option is to just brush it off. Hand washing also will help to remove the loose fibers.

From the first time I put it on, sitting on my bed, the sheets became covered in wool particles. Trying to get these particles off means they won’t even come off in the wash, neither do they hoover easily. This is a genuine Jaipur scarf. Its card reads: M.M B-85792554 ITEM NO: -7039 MADE IN P.R.C. Should I have rinsed it first before wearing it?

This might have been true at one time, but modern materials and weaving procedures easily can produce such effects in non cashmere products. Many fakes can. Do this.
