Kinnauri Shawls have patterned borders running all along the four edges thereby increasing the labour involved and making them more expensive than Kullu Shawls. Most of the shawls for commercial use are woven on the frame loom, though the ones for local use are still woven on the pit loom. Here the weaver weaves it in two pieces of half width each and later joins them from the center with elaborate hand stitching. This serves the dual purpose of function and ornamentation.

The shawls woven from Pashmina range from a fine to super- fine quality. They are pure and light, yet tremendously warm. Owing to the high cost of labor involved in the sorting of fine Pashmina fiber they are pretty expensive but trendy.

Fineness in spinning of Pashmina wool makes a superfine Pashmina shawl. Pashmina shawls are soft in texture, lightweight and warm. The types of Pashmina shawls are Plain Semi Pashmina Shawl, Semi Pashmina with patterning, Pure Pashmina Shawl and Silk Pashmina Shawl.
