About
Kashmir Shawls it is said:" Of all Indian textiles none
excels in beauty, colour, texture and design - the famous Kashmir
Shawl".
Shawls are produced by two techniques, loom woven or kani shawls
and the needle embroidered or sozni shawls. The basic fabric
is of the three types - Shah Tush, Pashmina and Raffal.
Pashmina Shawl
Pashmina is unmistakable for its softness. Pashmina yarn is spun
from hair of Ibex found at 14,000 ft above sea level. It is on
Pashmina shawls that Kashmir's most exquisite embroidery is worked
Jamawar Shawl
The Jamawar Shawls are made from the fleece of the Capra Hircus
goat, known over the world as "Cashmere" or properly
termed "Pashm". These Shawls have captured the attention
of the world, where they are highly appreciated for their unique
beauty and softness
