Kashmiri Pashmina Shawl | With Kani Work

About the Product

Crafted from 100% genuine Pashmina, which is renowned for its exceptional warmth and softness, this handwoven Pashmina shawl is a true representation of Kashmiri artistry. This masterpiece, which takes 2.5 years to complete, was skillfully woven using the traditional Kani weaving process. Artists labored consistently on handlooms, creating gorgeous patterns with delicate wooden machsticks. This shawl, which is feather-light but wonderfully warm, is a prized asset for future generations because it embodies Kashmir's tradition in its weaves.

Speciality

In the ancient Kani weaving method, which is unique to Kashmir, artists weave intricate designs into the fabric using tiny wooden needles called Kanis. These elaborate designs are woven straight into the Pashmina, unlike embroidered shawls, a laborious technique that calls for accuracy, durability, and creative skill. This shawl, which was made on a handloom, is an example of pure workmanship since every motif and color change is expertly done without the use of modern techniques. The end product is a fabric that is warm enough to protect against the coldest winters but feels so delicate against the skin that it almost seems like a soft whisper.
